White Rareripe. 7. Horticulturist 1:210, 258. 1846-47.
The origin of Nivette is unknown. It is a very old variety and seems to have been popular in the Old World for many years. In America, where it was first known early in the Nineteenth Century, it became confused with Morris White. The distinguishing characters between the two are: Morris White has reniform glands and white flesh while Nivette has globose glands and flesh which is red at the pit. Tree vigorous, upright, productive; fruit large, roundish, more or less elongated, flattened a little at the base, having a distinct suture, which so divides the fruit that one side is more projecting than the other; apex a mamelon point; color yellowish-white, occasionally tinged with some red veins and with a blush on the sunny side; flesh white, with red veins around the stone, very juicy, melting, with a rich, sweet, vinous flavor; quality good to very good; stone free, oval; season the last of September.
