Don't Overlook the 
NECTARINE 
New Uses Will Increase Demand 
Many people do not realise that the nectarine is a muta¬ 
tion—or hud sport, of the peach, and is not a cross between 
a peach and some other fruit. The nectarine tree is identical 
with the peach tree and its climatic and cultural require¬ 
ments are the same. Its smooth fuzzless skin, however, and 
distinctive and delicious flavor make it much sought after 
and popular wherever it is knozvn. 
For the home owner who likes both the fruit of the nec¬ 
tarine and peach trees and has not available room for the 
planting of both trees, we would suggest the planting of 
the nectarine tree. There is no other fruit which has the 
flavor of the fresh nectarine.

Boston. Late July-August. A freestone variety, popular for 
the home orchard and local markets. The fruit is nearly 
round, of good size, with a yellow skin overspread with a 
deep red blush. The flesh is yellow, separating readily from 
the pit. 
‘Early Rivers. June. Our earliest nectarine, ripening two 
weeks before Gower. It is also one of the best flavored va¬ 
rieties and we recommend it highly for the home orchard. 
The fruit is medium in size and very attractive with a red 
blush. Flesh white; freestone. 
‘Gold Mine. July. Is a large, attractive fruit, delicious in 
flavor. The flesh is white with some red at the pit which is 
perfectly free. One of the best varieties for home canning 
as well as eating fresh. The tree is vigorous and produces 
well. We highly recommend it. 
Gower. July. A standard shipping nectarine, ripening a few 
days after Gold Mine. The fruit is extra large and one of 
the most beautiful of all nectarines. The flesh is white, free¬ 
stone, and of good flavor. Very popular in the San Joaquin 
Valley. 
John Rivers. Medium sized, red in color, semi-cling of good 
flavor. Tree a medium grower and good bearer, earliest of 
the shipping nectarines. Carries well to the eastern markets. 
June buds only, see page 7. 
New White. July. An old variety, formerly used largely for 
drying. A freestone with both the skin and flesh very light 
in color. 
Quetta. Early August. A comparatively new variety which 
has proven to be an excellent shipping fruit. The fruit is 
extra large and beautiful in appearance, with its highly 
colored skin. The flesh is unusually firm and holds up very 
well in shipment. Clingstone. 
‘Stanwick. August. For a number of years this has been 
California’s leading nectarine. It is an excellent drying sort 
and is also used for shipping. Last year it was one of the 
principal varieties used for commercial canning. The fruit 
is very large, attractive in appearance, and of very good 
flavor. A perfect freestone with white flesh. The best all- 
around variety. 
‘Victoria. Late August. If you want to enjoy the delectable- 
nectarine flavor at its best we recommend the Victoria. A 
white flesh freestone with skin of deep red color. Used ex¬ 
tensively for drying and to some extent for shipping. One of 
the very best in quality and should be in every home orchard. 
(*) Varieties especially recommended for the home orchard.
