 Nectarines 
T AFFORDS us great pleasure to offer to the grower of tree fruits 
an entirely new and sensational fruit— A YELLOW FLESH NEC- 
TARINE—superb in its carrying and shipping qualities, comparable to 
peaches in size and with a flavor not to be found in any of the older 
types of Nectarines. Not only is it our good fortune to be able to offer 
this delicious fruit in both clingstones and freestones but ot 
ripening period (see chart) covers that of the better Peach varieties. 
Sales records indicate that the Nectarine is surely offering serious compe- 
tition to the Peach. If you are interested in planting for profit you 
should look into the advantages offered by planting our new varieties. 
Mr. Fred W. Anderson, of Merced, California, about 1940 crossed the 
J. H. Hale peach with the Quetta nectarine, resulting in the develop- 
ment of our LE GRAND. In making this cross he secured the smooth 
skin and firm clingstone quality of the Nectarine and captured the size 
and beautiful color of the J. H. Hale peach. In 1942, Kim Brothers, 
doing business as Reedley Nursery, purchased the full patent rights 
from Mr. Anderson. Since introducing the Le Grand, Mr. Anderson 
has produced many other fine varieties, which you will find described 
under their various names. Before releasing the trees for general plant- 
ing Kim Brothers have made test shipments of the fruit to all parts of 
the United States, such as New York, Boston, Chicago, Alabama, Joplin, 
Missouri; Denver, Seattle, Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Los Angeles, 
San Francisco and Oakland and also to the Hawaiian Islands. The fruit 
has carried in excellent condition and brought top prices in the many 
markets.
