          26503. AMYGDALUS PERSICA NECTARINA. Nectarine. Original introduction 
from Sinkiang, China. Presented by E. Cotes. The fruits are large, 
freestone, and pale yellow with a red blush. The flesh is creamy white, 
red at the stone, juicy, crisp, subacid, and of very good quality. The 
fruit, which matures about the middle of August at Chico, California, 
keeps well in shipment. Budded plants are available from a selected 
seedling. (Chico, Calif.)

34685. AMYGDALUS PERSICA NECTARINA. Quetta Nectarine. Presented by Lieut. 
W. L. Maxwell, Quetta, Baluchistan. The tree is large, handsome, and unusually hardy for a nectarine, although it thrives best in regions not 
having severe winters. The large, round fruits, slightly over 2 inches 
in diameter, are green, heavily blotched with red. The greenish flesh, 
strongly marked with red around the pit, is juicy and of rich, tart flavor. 
This is an unusually good nectarine, sufficiently firm to ship well. 
(Chico, Calif.)

freestone, dark red on the exposed side, cream-colored dotted with red on 
the unexposed side. The flesh, which is creamy white, melting and juicy,

and perishable. The tree is prolific. At Chico, California, this variety 
ripens late in July or early in August. (Chico, Calif.)

California, it ripens from late July to early August. (Chico, Calif.)
