| U.S. Department of Agriculture | 
Nectarines are more susceptible to brown rot than veaches, and, there- 
fore, require thorough and more frequent spraying. In addition to the Garden State, 
a yellow-fleshed nectarine introduced in 1934, by the New Jersey Agricultural Exveri- 
ment Station, the New Jersey Peach Council now offers trees of the following four 
white-fleshed varieties, all originated at the New Jersey Agricultural Experinent 
Station, All of these new varieties have been less susceptible to brown rot at New 
Brunswick than Garden State. They provide a succession of lerge nectarines from 
the middle of August until the second week in September at New Brunswick, WN. d. 
NECTAROSE(N. J. 9) 
A large freestone, ripening just before the Garden State, or about 
with the Sunhigh peach, 
NECTAHBART (N. J, 10) 
A large freestone completely shaded with red, ripening immediately 
after the Garden State, Some specimens grow at New Brunswick have been over 2 1/2 
inches in diameter, 
NECTACREST (N. J. 8) 
This large, attractive, whito-fleshed freestone usually ripens with 
the Summercrest peach at New Brunswick or about one week after Nectaheart, 
NECTALATE (N. J, 4) 
This is the latest variety to ripen among all the nectarines offered 
by the New Jerscy Peach Council, It usually ripens with the Afterglow peach, or 
nearly two weeks later than Nectacrest, 
GARDEN STATE (U. S. Plant Patent 92) 
A large, firm, yellow-fleshed, freestone of high quality ripening with 
the Goldeneast peach, It is very cesirable for slicing, canning, and freezing, Re- 
quires thorough and frequent spraying, under conditions of high humidity, to con- 
trol brown rot, 
LOW ACID PEACH VARIETIES 
Low acid peaches should be of special interest to persons who are 
troubled with hyper-acidity or peptic ulcers, since they may be eaten by such per- 
sons without the discomfort that follows the consumption of fruits having a normal 
amount of acid, 
Trees of two of these low acid varieties of peaches developed at the 
New Jersey Agricultural Exveriment Station have been named and are now being offered 
by the New Jersey Peach Council, They are Honcygem and Newcheer, Both varieties 
ripen about a week after Zlberta, or with Afterglow and Laterose, Both are free- 
stones of medium size. Honeygem is a yellow-fleshed variety and Newcheer is white,
