Nedtar Peach 
The Earliest Yellow Peach Known—One of the Very Best in Quality 
We found this peach in a lot of trees 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, rip¬ 
ening as it does in this latitude about Aug¬ 
ust 1st (or a few days in advance of Greens¬ 
boro), 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 adjoining were a total failure— 
that no peach in the entire list is of 
higher quality—all these combine to make 
Nectar one of the most valuable varieties, 
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 obthin the largest size—skin is 
yellow, with side exposed to sun 
covered with red, striped and 
splashed with darker red— 
flesh is yellow and of very high quality. It 
is nearly free 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 
condition 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 comparatively green will color up beau¬ 
tifully. 
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 
variety 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 trees of this 
valuable variety.
