  • Apple tree named `M9-RN29`
    Patent number: PP10714
    Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct apple tree rootstock clone which is useful as a size controlling rootstock. The new clone originated as a mutation of Malling 9 (M9), an unpatented dwarfing apple rootstock. Standard growing apple cultivars propagated on this new rootstock are approximately 65% of the size of like apple trees growing on seedling rootstocks. Compared to its M9 parent, this new clone produces many more and larger lateral branches, has more sharply serrated leaves which are more pale yellow-green in color. The clone is also more vigorous and produces a large number of rooted plants in a given area of stoolbed.

  • Asiatic hybrid lily plant named `La Center`
    Patent number: PP10715
    Abstract: A new variety of a hybrid lily plant bearing upright flowers of excellent form and long persistence, both on the plant and as cut-flowers. The flowers of the new plant are particularly characterized by their deep yellow coloration at the base and the tip, and large orange red mark on the inner half of each tepal. This combination is completely new in the Asiatic hybrid divisions of lilies suited to forcing and to mass commercial cultivation. The variety is resistant to botrytis disease and shows high tolerance of virus. The bulbs may be precooled and forced for cut-flower production. The clone is vigorous and is a good grower and propagator.
