Varieties listed in order oj ripening 
POCAHONTAS (2001 ) A good new yellow-fleshed 
variety from Virginia that is medium large in size. The 
skin is highly colored, and the quality is good. A semi- 
freestone, Pocahontas ripens 19 days before Lexington. 
The trees are vigorous, productive, escape damage from 
brown rot and frost during blossoming season, and have 
large, showy bloom. 
CHEROKEE (2002) A highly colored new variety from 
Virginia that ripens about 30 days before Elberta. Fruits 
are yellow fleshed, semi-freestone and above average in 
quality. Trees are productive, medium vigorous, and 
produce large showy flowers. Cherokee has above 
average tolerance to brown rot and spring frost. 
REDBUD (2003) A white-fleshed, average-sized free- 
stone ripening about 27 days before Elberta. A good bright 
red, attractive, smooth skin covers the fruits which are 
above average in firmness, medium in texture, and of 
good quality. The trees are of average vigor and pro- 
duce heavy sets of buds. They are highly resistant to 
brown rot when a standard peach spray schedule is 
followed. Buds are more tolerant to late frost than Red- 
chief, but slightly less than those of Cavalier. 
LEXINGTON (2004) A yellow-fleshed variety ripening 
about 17 days before Elberta, with average-sized, freestone 
fruits 2 inches or more in diameter. The skin is a deep 
yellow overlaid with red, giving an attractive ap- 
pearance. The flesh is medium textured and of good 
flavor. Lexington is resistant to brown rot when regular 
peach spray is used. The trees are vigorous and set a 
large amount of fruit buds which are relativelv hardy. 
FLAVORFUL - BEAUTIFUL - POPULAR 
LAFAYETTE (2005) The largest of all the new Virginia 
selections. Lafayette has the best skin color and finish, too. 
Even though the flesh is white, we think this fine new 
variety will be a welcome addition to every planting. 
Fruits ripen with Lexington, seem resistant to brown 
rot, and good crops are borne annually. 
REDCHIEF (2006) One of our best white-fleshed varie- 
ties. Fruits are of good size, highly colored, freestone, and 
with a very pleasing flavor. Trees are thrifty and pro- 
ductive, with a marked resistance to brown rot. Red- 
chief ripens about 13 days before Elberta and is moder- 
ately tolerant of spring frost. 
GARDEN STATE (2007) A large, firm, freestone, yel- 
low-fleshed nectarine that ripens with Hale Haven and 
Redchief, 12 to 15 days before Elberta. An orange-yellow 
undercolor is overspread with red to give it a fine ap- 
pearance. Trees are vigorous and productive. One of 
our finest nectarine varieties. 
CAVALIER (2008) More highly colored than Redchief. 
It has good size, fine yellow flesh with high quality, marked 
resistance to brown rot, and is a freestone. Trees are 
vigorous and productive, setting abundant quantities of 
fruit buds that are quite tolerant of spring frost. Cavalier 
ripens about S days before Elberta. 
FRANCESCO (2009) 
Plant Patent No. 2839 
A very fine new nectarine found by Anthony and 
Xunzio Curcio of Hammonton, New Jersey. Fran- 
cesco produces extremely large freestone fruits of 
high quality. The fruits are more than half covered 
with a beautiful carmine-red which is laid over a 
good golden yellow ground color. Ripening period 
is from August 25th to about September 5th or in 
the Blake-Redskin peach season in the Hammonton 
area. 
The Curcio*s were first attracted to this new fruit 
by its excellent size. Mature fruits of Francesco will 
measure 21 or more inches when well grown. Color 
is such that Francesco can compete very favorably 
with western nectarines. The fruits are resistant to 
disease and insect pests as grown on second and 
third generation trees. The Curcio Brothers have 
found a good peach spray schedule completely satis- 
factory for this new nectarine. Added benefits of 
Francesco are fine flavor and excellent keeping and 
shipping quality. 
Trees of Francesco are thrifty and productive, 
medium large in growth, upright and round-topped 
in habit. They are hardy and bear annually. Flowers 
and buds are hardy and open medium early. Cross- 
pollination is not required. 
We suggest you place your orders now to reserve your 
needs. You may be assured this is an excellent necta- 
rine that can be successfully grown under eastern con- 
ditions. It is truly a fine fruit for the commercial and 
home grower. Price of Francesco will be 75c more per 
tree than regular Nectarines.
