Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘KIE283’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit; dark green-colored leaves; freely flowering habit; and large red and red purple-colored flowers that are positioned above and beyond the foliage.
Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Weigela plant named ‘Bramwell’, characterized by its compact and uniform plant habit; mounding growth habit; freely branching habit; grayed purple-colored stems; relatively small dark grayed purple-colored leaves; and long-lasting dark pink flowers.
Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘KIE186’, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; dense and bushy growth habit; dark green and yellow green variegated leaves; freely flowering habit; and large light pink-colored flowers that are positioned above and beyond the foliage.
Abstract: Ipomoea batatas ‘Covington’ is an orange-fleshed, smooth-skinned, rose-colored, table stock sweetpotato. ‘Covington’ produces yields equal to ‘Beauregard’, the dominant sweetpotato variety produced in the United States, but it is 5-10 days later in maturity. The storage roots of ‘Covington’ are generally shorter and more uniformly shaped and fewer “jumbos” are produced as compared with ‘Beauregard’, resulting in higher “pack-out” by sweetpotato packers. The dry matter content of ‘Covington’ storage roots is slightly higher than that of ‘Beauregard’. ‘Covington’ is also resistant to the russet crack strain of sweetpotato feathery mottle virus, moderately resistant to southern root knot nematode, and appears to be less sensitive genotype by environmental interactions (measured as an improved overall appearance score, and the percentage of culls and off-types present at harvest), all of which are considered to be major flaws in the variety ‘Beauregard’.
Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant named ‘KLEOE05524’, characterized by its upright and compact plant habit; freely branching growth habit; early and freely flowering habit; and large daisy-type inflorescences with bright yellow-colored ray florets.
Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Verbena plant named ‘KLEVEP0539’, characterized by its mounding to cascading and compact plant habit; freely branching habit; freely flowering habit; light red purple-colored flowers that are held above and beyond the foliage; and resistance to Powdery Mildew.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Spray rose plant is provided which abundantly forms on a nearly continuous basis in sprays attractive long-lasting yellow-green blossoms. The buds are substantially spherical in shape, the blossoms display a uniform and homogeneous appearance, and the vegetation is vigorous. The attractive green foliage contrasts nicely with the light blossom coloration. The new variety displays an excellent aptitude to forcing and is particularly well suited for cut flower production under greenhouse growing conditions.
Abstract: A new and distinct seedless mandarin named ‘Late Seedless Mandarin’ is characterized by late fruit production in April through to late March in the citrus areas of Sicily, Italy and Riverside, Calif. The tree has high yields and bears from year three onwards. It is further characterized by being a triploid and genetically seedless. The seedless fruit is well sized, has a typical mandarin shape (round, flattened) and has acceptable rind thickness with a smooth texture. The fruit has good acid/sugar ratios, has acceptable shipping characteristics, internal and external color is excellent at harvest, and eating quality is excellent. The fruit has an average juice content of about 45% to about 60% at harvest.

Abstract: A new Impatiens plant, characterized particularly as to novelty by a flat and strong outward spreading growth habit, freely branching with branches that tend to grow horizontally, resulting in a big and floriferous plant with deep red flowers.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of shrub rose plant is provided which forms in abundance on a nearly continuous basis in clusters attractive double cup-shaped fragrant blossoms which clean well that are bright peach in coloration. The vegetation is vigorous and a spreading round cover growth habit with procumbent vegetation is displayed. Attractive dark green foliage with a glossy finish is formed. The plant develops well regardless of the mode of asexual propagation. Excellent disease resistance with respect to Black Spot, Powdery Mildew, and Rust is displayed. The new variety is particularly well suited for providing attractive ornamentation in the landscape as a mass planting or when grown in containers.
