Nectar 
The Earliest Yellow Peach Known- 
We found this peach in a lot of tvees we 
received from Texas. Whether it is a new 
variety or some sort that is known in the 
southwest, we don 't know, but we have 
fruited it for a number of years and the fruit 
has always sold at good prices. The fact that 
the Nectar is so extremely early, ripening as 
it does in this latitude about August 1st (or a 
few days in advance of Greensboro), that it is 
a beautiful yellow peach, the earliest yellow 
peach known — that it is extremely hardy in 
bud and has never failed to produce , a crop ■ 
even when other varieties adjoiuiug were a 
total failure — that no peacli in the entire list 
is of higher quality — all tht'se combine to 
make Nectar one of the most valuable varie- 
ties, and one that will be largely planted 
when known. 
The tree is a thrifty, healthy grower and 
very hardy in bud — the blossoms are large — 
Fruit is medium in size, and should be thinned 
to obtain the largest size. — skin is yellow, with 
side exposed to sun covered with red, 
striped and splashed with darker red 
— flesh is ycllowand of very liigh 
quality. It is nearly free 
-One of the Very Best in Quality 
when ripe, as free as any of the early peaches. 
There is very little fuzz. The Nectar should 
not be compared, either in looks or quality, 
with such varieties as Triumph or Admiral 
Dewey which ripen a week or ten days later. 
Another valuable point is its freedom from 
rot. We have kept the fruit in good condi- 
tion for 10 days after picking, but it is so 
juicy that it should be picked when hard and 
let ripen in the basket. Even when compara- 
tively green will color up beautifully. So far 
we have needed all the trees of this variety 
we grew for our own planting, but for fall of 
1913 and spring of 1914, we shall have trees 
of this variety for our customers. 
. We don't expect to charge an extra price 
for these trees, but we want our customers 
who buy other nursery stock of us to have 
first opportunity to get trees of Nectar. 
Therefore, we shall only sell trees of this va- 
riety in assortment of other varieties, peach 
trees or other nursery stock and at prices 
charged for other peach trees, so far as our 
stock permits. First come first served 
will be our rule. Therefore order early 
if you want troes of this valuable 
variety.
