Big String 
Nectarines 
The nectarine is in 
effect a smooth skinned 
peach. It is believed that 
the two fruits are really 
identical superficially, and 
have only somewhat re- 
cently been modified 
through selective breeding. 
Nevertheless there are «b- 
vious differences in the 
peach and the nectarine, 
and there is opportunity 
for interesting experiments 
in crossbreeding. Mr. Bur- 
bank has taken full ad- 
vantage of these opportu- 
nities, and this picture 
shows one of his many 
interesting results.
