The development of new yellow-fleshed varieties has greatly changed the nectarine industry. In 1952 the total acreage of nectarines in California was 3,793 acres. In 1959 the total had increased to 13,286 according to the statistics of the California Crop and Livestock Reporting Service. The leading varieties in 1951 were Quetto, John Rivers and Gower, which are all white-fleshed varieties. These varieties are disappearing rapidly as many orchards have been pulled and others topworked. From June 30th 1958 to the end of the season, the varieties Gower and Quetto alone made up about 6% of the total shipments.
