Abstract: An improved seal for closing the space between a pipe and the wall of an opening through which it passes, using a linear extrusion of elastomeric material, of predetermined length to form a gasket. The extrusion has a hollow, pear-shaped head formed integrally with a T-shaped anchoring flange. It is curled into the form of a right cylinder, and its mating ends are vulcanized together. The pear-shaped portion is deflected radially inwardly and the T-shaped anchoring flange outwardly, the latter being then embedded in concrete used to wall the opening for the pipe. The pear-shaped portion is free in space and provides a pneumatic cushion for the pipe.

Abstract: A low-growing hardy bush rose of the Floribunda type, raised as an outdoor seedling for garden decoration. The plant is bushy and vigorous, blooming almost continuously during the growing season. No evidence of susceptability to mildew has been observed, with respect to plants grown in Southern California. The peduncles have numerous stipitate glands and numerous fine hairs. The blooms are produced freely to abundantly and are double in character, numbering from 35-45 petals plus 3-8 petaloids. The bloom is a rich orange scarlet and it manifests an unusual degree of color stability, showing very little change or fading from the opening of the bud until the petals fall. It has a slight fruity fragrance.
