"Fruits of the Gods’ 
Maybe you have heard that nectarines are a cross 
between a peach and a plum—not so—they are sim- 
ply fuzzless peaches with a heavenly flavor. The 
skin of the nectarine is absolutely smooth and they 
are very highly colored. When it comes to flayor— 
well, nectarines have a richness and sprightliness 
which surpasses that of any peach. 
A number of years ago, the Armstrong Research 
staff tackled the problem of developing new nec- 
tatine varieties especially for Southern California 
and other mild-wintered areas. Silver Lode, Pioneer, 
and Panamint, all fine new freestone varieties, result 
from this work. Not only do they consistently bear 
fine high quality fruit, but they are proving superior 
in other fruit growing areas, as well.
