THE ROSE NECTARINE (Pat. applied for) 
EARLY — Like John Rivers 
BEAUTIFUL— Like Le Grand 
PROLIFIC — Like Quetta 
DELICIOUS — Like Stanwick 
FREESTONE—Like Gower 
This nectarine is outstanding in so many qualities that we 
think it will be a ‘Winner.’ 
The Rose was originated by Fred Anderson of LeGrand, 
California’s leading breeder of new nectarine varieties. It 
resulted from a second generation cross between John 
Rivers and LeGrand. 
This year, for the first time, we had the Rose fruiting on the 
same tree with John Rivers, and it ripened one week later 
than John Rivers. 
We expect the Rose to replace the John Rivers, as its supe- 
rior qualities become known. It is white fleshed, smooth 
and symmetrical in form, with beautiful coloring, and strik- 
ing appearance. (See Front cover). 
This new nectarine has fruited in the Fred Anderson Or- 
chard for five years, and each year has borne a good crop. 
The John Rivers, on the other hand, in the same orchard, 
has missed two years out of the past five—each time after 
a warm winter. 
Most early nectarines and peaches are either clingstones or 
only partially free. The Rose is a complete freestone, and 
thus would be adapted for processing, as well as fresh ship- 
ment. It is firm enough to ship well, and has the true nectar- 
ine flavor so popular with consumers and demanded by 
canners and freezers of nectarines. 
ROYALTY — $1.50 per tree. 
We also recommend the Rose for the home orchard — on 
account of its fine flavor and beautiful appearance. 
If you are interested in seeing the new Rose 
Nectarine, send us a Post Card. We will then 
notify you next summer when it is ripe.
