LE GRAND 
Clingstone—Patent No. 549. 
Ripens approximately with Elberta and J. H. Hale. The market 
and grower reports make a description of this one almost unneces- 
sary. Without question one of the largest and finest yellow fleshed 
nectarines yet introduced. This wonderful new commercial shipping 
variety is a result of a cross between the J. H. Hale peach and 
Quetta nectarine. The skin has a rich golden-yellow undercover, 
overspread with bright red blush. The flesh is yellow with a tinge 
of red 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. 
This one is a sure money maker and consistently brings high prices 
on all auctions. 
RED GRAND 
LIBERTY 
Freestone—Patent No. 1160. 
Ripens approximately with the Elberta. This variety is un- 
doubtedly one of the firmest of freestone nectarines. Fruit is smaller 
than Quetta. Skin coloring is an attractive red. Flesh yellow, of good 
flavor. Ripens Le Grand time. 
Clingstone—Patent No. 1265. 
Ripens approximately a week after Elberta. Almost identical to 
the Late Le Grand but ripens a week earlier. (See description of 
Late Le Grand.) 
Freestcnz—Patent No. 1324. 
Ripens approximately 2 weeks after Elberta. Ripens after Le Grand. 
Fruit is large in size, firm. Fruit slightly elongated. Flesh yellow. 
Skin yellow, blushed with bright red. 
LE GRAND 
LATE LE GRAND 
Clingstone—Patent No. 1035. 
Ripens approximately 2 weeks after Elberta. Larger than Le 
Grand and ripening two weeks later than Le Grand. Fruits of well 
grown specimens average three inches in ring diameter and slightly 
more from stem to apex. Globose to oblong in shape with the apex 
depressed and pistil point almost lacking. Stem is stout and adheres 
strongly to the flesh. Skin is yellow in color, very highly blushed with 
red and is of medium texture. Flesh yellow, streaked with red next 
to pit, very firm with a delicate and somewhat acid flavor. A wonder- 
ful nectarine to eat fresh and cans beautifully. Pit medium in size 
and reddish in color. A good long distance shipper. Without doubt 
this is the best late nectarine on the market, and extends the harvest 
and marketing of the Le Grand type nectarine.
