NECTARINE 


The Quetta Nectarine The tree resembles the Peach in size and growing hab- 
. its, and is as hardy as the Champion or most other 
budded Peaches. The fruit is almost as large as the common run of peaches, but it is 
perfectly smooth-skinned, with a wax-like appearance. Of pleasing, delicious quality, 
the Nectarines make an excellent dessert dish. For drying and for preserves they are 
superior to the Peach. Nectarines have never been offered on a large scale, and have not 
been planted in commercial orchards, and is known only to few people. However, the 
tree is hardy anywhere in the corn belt, can bt grown successfully wherever Peaches 
can be grown, and produces as good as Peaches. Nice 3 to 4 ft. trees, $1.85 each; 2 for 
$3.45; prepald. 0 

the new Peach-Cot 
This new type of fruit is a cross between the hardy strain of Apricot and leach. 
- It is considerably larger than the regular Apricot, with a smooth skin, ripens here in 
July. A fruit of very fine quality for the table and for canning. The tree resembles 
the Apricot, grows to large size, nicely shaped, makes a good combination, fruit and 
ornamental tree. This variety is grown only in the Sonderegger nursery grounds, and 
can be bought only from us. Sales limited to two trees per customer. 2 to 4 ft. strong, 
healthy trees, $1.95 each; 2 for $3.70; prepaid. 4 to 6 ft. trees, $2.60 each. 
Apricots 
We have had complete failures with our Apricot budding stock in 1943 and 1944. In 
both years the seedling stock on which we bud the hardy Apricot varieties were -dam- 
aged by unfavorable weather conditions, and partly due to lack of-help at critical times. 
For spring 1946 we are unable to furnish Apricots in any of the hardy northern grown 
varieties. Our propagations of 1945 will be ready for market in the spring of 1947. As 
this catalog goes to the press, October, 1945, the Apricot buddings of this year look very 
promising. We are quite certain the hardy Apricots will be off the market only for 1946.2 
If you plan -on planting the true hardy strain of Apricots, you will profit by waiting 
until 1947.
