NG NEW VARIETIES 
Fresno County in 1939. It has been in commercial produc- 
tion about eight years. It has proven to be a heavy bearer 
and a fine market peach. It is a much better bearer of No. 
1 fruits than J. H. Hale, and also has the advantages of 
being a few days earlier and having self-fertile blossoms. 
A proven money maker. (Royalty 80c per tree). 
THE ROSE NECTARINE 
Originated by Fred Anderson, of LeGrand, California’s 
leading breeder of new nectarines. Exclusive propagating 
rights were purchased by us in 1953. 
We believe this nectarine will take the place of the John 
Rivers as its superior qualities become known. It is white 
fleshed; ripening with that variety. It is smooth and sym- 
metrical, with beautiful red coloring on the surface. Its chief 
advantages over John Rivers are its regular bearing habits 
and its complete freestone character. 
The John Rivers has proven itself to be an excellent money 
maker in the San Joaquin Valley during those years when 
it bears a good crop. But it is an erratic bearer; especially 
likely to fail after a warm winter. The Rose nectarine has 
borne regularly and heavily every year. 
Most early nectarines and peaches are either clingstones or 
only partially free. The Rose is a complete freestone, and 
thus would be adapted for both freezing and canning, as 
well as fresh shipment. 
It is firm enough to ship well. Its eating quality is excellent, 
having the true nectarine flavor, so popular with consumers, 
and demanded by commercial canners and freezers of 
nectarines. (Royalty $1.50 per tree). 
THE DIX 6-6 CLING PEACH 
Originated by the late Frank Dixon; tested and introduced 
by the University of California College of Agriculture. 
Mr. Dixon spent many years of his life breeding canning 
clings of BETTER FLAVOR, as he was convinced that more 
highly flavored varieties were needed if the cling peach 
was to maintain and increase its popularity with the con- 
sumer. He originated a number of new and highly flavored 
clings ripening throughout the canning season, and these 
are all being tested by the College. 
The first to be released is the Dix 6-6. (The Dix 6-8 has also 
been released, but it appears to be almost identical with 
the 6-6). It is early ripening, seven days after Fortuna, and 
fills the gap between Fortuna and Cortez. It is a large, well 
shaped, beautiful cling and a heavy bearer. But its most 
outstanding quality is its higher flavor; definitely superior to 
~ any of the commercial clings now being canned. 
Its desirable time of ripening and unmatched flavor should 
make it one of our leading varieties. (No increase in price 
of trees).
