Varieties listed in order of ripening 



SUNRED NECTARINE (2013) A small to medium size, 

 bright red variety for central Florida. Requires about 300 

 dormant hours. Fruits are firm, yellow fleshed, round, of 

 excellent quality, and semi-free when fully ripe. Ripens 

 May 7-15 in central Florida. 



NOVELRED (2010) Neither all peach nor all nectarine. 

 Both fuzzy and smooth fruits are produced on the same tree 

 at the same time. Many times you will find that one fruit is 

 partly smooth and partly fuzzy. The quality of both types of 

 fruit is excellent. 



Fruits of Novelred are very large, very red, and have extra 

 fine flavor. Size runs to 3'/2 inches in many cases. Color is a 

 brilliant red which covers nearly all of the fruit. The flesh of 

 Novelred is white, streaked with carmine, and very juicy. 

 Both the smooth and fuzzy fruits have excellent flavor, 

 being a bit more tart and winey than an ordinary peach. 



POCAHONTAS (2001) A good new yellow-fleshed va- 

 riety 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 pro- 

 duce large showy flowers. Cherokee has above average tol- 

 erance to brown rot and spring frost. 



FLAVORTOP (2018) Large size, excellent quality, very 

 attractive red color, good shipping ability. A good descrip- 

 tion of another western nectarine that seems to have prom- 

 ise for eastern growers. Ripens the last week in July in this 

 area. Tree is vigorous, productive, self-fertile, with moder- 

 ate chilling requirement. 



FANTASIA (2017) A new large yellow-fleshed nec- 

 tarine from the west that should be well adapted to eastern 

 areas. Fruits are very large by eastern standards; highly 

 colored; firm freestone, and of good quality. Ripens just after 

 Flavortopor about August 1st in this area. Tree is vigorous, 

 productive, self-fertile, with short chilling requirement. 



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 17 days before Elberta, seem resistant to brown rot, 

 and good crops are borne annually. 



REDCHIEF (2006) One of our best white-fleshed var- 

 ieties. Fruits are of good size, highly colored, freestone, and 

 with a very pleasing flavor. Trees are thrifty and product- 

 ive, with a marked resistance to brown rot. Redchief ripens 

 about 13 days before Elberta and is moderately tolerant of 

 spring frost. 



GARDEN STATE (2007) A large, firm, freestone, 

 yellow-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 appear- 

 ance. 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 vigor- 

 ous and productive, setting abundant quantities of fruit 

 buds that are quite tolerant of spring frost. Cavalier ripens 

 about 8 days before Elberta. 



FRANCESCO (2009) 

 Plant Patent No. 2839 



Francesco produces large freestone fruits of high quality. 

 The fruits are more than half covered with a beautiful 

 carmine-red laid over a golden yellow ground. Ripening 

 period is from August 25th to about September 5th or in the 

 Blake-Redskin peach season. 



Mature fruits of Francesco will measure 2% or more in- 

 ches when well grown. Color is such that Francesco can 

 compete very favorably with western nectarines. A good 

 peach spray schedule is completely satisfactory. Added ben- 

 efits 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.
