The Quetta Nectarine ( S.P.I. No. 18235). 
The seeds were collected from the best nectarine trees 
in Quetta, Baluchistan, at an altitude of 6000 feet by Lieu- 
tenant W. L. Maxwell of the 127th Baluchistan Light Infantry. 
The large size and good color of this variety together 
with its excellent flavor make it very promising. Photo- 
graphed at Chico, Calif., by R. L. Beagles from the first 
fruits to ripen in this country.
