Half-and-Half
PEACH AND NECTARINE UNUSUAL SPECIMEN A ‘half and half” is well known to some people, especially with a particular type of palate, hut when it comes lo fruit, one cannot go into a shop and look for two in one. That there are such types of fruit, admittedly isolated examples, is borne out by a specimen shown a Thames pressman recently by Mr .1. Pratt. This nectarine-peach, or vice-versa, is a very definite example. “The skin or one side is fur-coated, while on the oilier il is that of a nectarine. The flesh too, is quite different in colour ond taste.
This dual fruit was grown at Point Chevalier, Auckland, on an ordinary tree, which had not received grafting treatment of anv sort.
