A NEW SEEDLING 

 NECTARINE 



The nectarine is in effect a smooth- 

 skinned peach. It is believed that the 

 two fruits are really identical, and have 

 only somewhat recently been modified 

 through selective breeding. Neverthe- 

 less, there are some obvious differences 

 in the peach and the nectarine, oppor- 

 tunity for interesting experiments in 

 crossbreeding. (Two -thirds natural 

 size.)
