ored and ripens a week earlier than Le Grand. Fruit 
ripens and colors evenly and fills the gap between Early 
Le Grand and Le Grand. Fruit is large in size being con- 
siderably larger than Quetta, well grown specimens 
) averaging 3 inches in diameter and quite uniform in 
size. Round in shape with point almost lacking at the 
apex. Skin yellow, overspread with bright red, thick, 
tough, tenacious to flesh. Flesh yellow with considerable 
red next to pit. Abundant juice, syrup-like and rich. 
Flesh firm, with distinct nectarine aroma. Being a cling- 
stone, like the Le Grand, it has excellent keeping quali- 
ties. As a market nectarine it is loaded with eye appeal.

LE GRAND 
Clingstone—Plant patent No. 549. 
Without question one of the largest and finest yellow 
fleshed nectarines yet introduced. This wonderful new 
commercial shipping variety is the result of a cross be- 
tween the J. H. Hale peach and Quetta nec tarine. It has 
the size and color of the J. H. Hale and the firm shipping 
qualities of the Quetta nectarine. The skin has a rich 
golden-yellow undercover, overspread with bright red 
blush. The flesh is yellow with a tinge of pink at the pit, 
rich and sweet with a vinous tang of the nectarine; firm 
and excellent shipping quality. Pit medium in size. Trees 
are strong growers, regular and consistent bearers of fine 
large fruits. Six year old trees are producing in excess of 
15 tons to the acre. Ripens with regular Elberta. It has 
consistently topped the markets. A sure money maker. 
LIBERTY 
Freestone—Pat. applied for. 
This variety is undoubtedly one of the firmest of free- 
stone nectarines. Fruit is smaller than Quetta. Skin color- 
ing is an attractive red. Flesh yellow, of good flavor. 
Ripens Le Grand time.
