NECTARINES 
THE DELIGHT OF THE FAMILY PLANTING 
A smooth-skinned Plum-Peach. Tree grows like Peach. 
Fruit looks like large Plum. The Flavor, 
both Peach and Plum. 
SURE CROP It was imported to this country 
from New Zealand and is one of 
the finest if not the finest of recent nectarines tried in 
this country: The tree is vigorous and productive. The 
fruit is large, roundish, white, and overlaid with very 
attractive red. The flesh is firm, tender, free from stone 
and very pleasing flavor. Late mid-season. 
The origin of this nec- 
RUBIRED Nectarine tarine is unknown to 
us. We secured the budwood from a customer of ours 
in North Carolina. We were so impressed with the 
grower’s account of this nectarine and the fruits which 
we personally observed that we felt it should be propa- 
gated and offered to our patrons. The fruit is of large 
size, smooth skin, fine red color, and excellent quality, 
with winey flavor which is particularly pleasing. 
QUETTA One of the more recently introduced 
Nectarines which is fast gaining favor 
with the small planter and those growing for market 
purposes. Very hardy, fruits large, color white splash- 
ed with atractive red. White fleshed, juicy and very 
sweet flavor. 
HUNTER One of the good, yellow fleshed Nectar- 
ines. Tree is hardy and _ vigorous. 
Fruits are large, somewhat round, and atractively yel- 
low with red blush, and a freestone. Good quality. 
NOTE: Nectarines will sell on most roadside and 
nearby markets and are splendid for canning, eating 
and cooking purposes. 
In figuring prices you may combine nectarines and 
apricots, to get advantage of large quantity rates.
