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.)
