Nectarine tree, "Mike's Grand"

Abstract

A nectarine tree which very heavily and regularly bears fruit having yellow, semi-freestone flesh and red skin, and which ripens early in the season.

Having thus described and illustrated our new variety of Nectarine Tree, what is new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of nectarine tree substantially as illustrated and described broadly characterized by its general similarity to the May Grand Nectarine Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,794) in its early bearing of fruit having yellow flesh but from which it is distinguished as to novelty by its regular and very productive bearing of fruit having a more completely yellow flesh and a somewhat flatter appearance, ripening two or three days earlier than that of the May Grand variety.
