Abstract: A fuel control system for a carburetor. The fuel control system includes a primary restrictor, primary adjustable jet and secondary restrictor connecting a carburetor reservoir and nozzle bar in fluid-flow relation to a fuel supply. Adjustment and metering means control the amount of fuel that is provided to the carburetor nozzle bar.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing discrete elements such as labels, borne by a carrier sheet, the method including passing an element sheet from which said elements are to be formed along a first path of travel; passing a carrier sheet along a second path of travel spaced from the first path of travel in a first course and retained in substantial facing engagement with the element sheet in a second course; applying adhesive to one of the sheets prior to the second course in discrete zones individually having positions corresponding to the positions of the planar elements to be formed; and cutting the element sheet in the second course outwardly of the discrete zones of adhesive to form discrete elements adhesively borne by the carrier sheet.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is somewhat similar to the Santa Rosa Plum Tree (unpatented), with which it is most similarly related, and which is characterized by fruit which is deeper and fuller in external color, larger in size, and possesses an Amber-colored flesh which is lightly streaked in Red near the cavity of the fruit.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is somewhat similar to the Friar Plum Tree (unpatented), but which is distinguished therefrom by having a more pronounced red skin color, a smoother textured surface, and a unique, attractive light diffused red flesh which is aromatic and of excellent eating quality and which ripens approximately the second week of July.

Abstract: A grapevine particularly characterized by its grapes which are generally similar to those of the Muscat of Alexandria (unpatented) Grapevine, having the physical characteristics similar to the Muscat of Alexandria, but from which it is distinguished by a date of ripening which is 10 days to 2 weeks earlier than the Muscat of Alexandria and furthermore by producing clusters of grapes which are well-filled and neither compact nor straggling in appearance, as is characteristic of the Muscat of Alexandria variety.

Abstract: A grapevine generally resembling the Delight variety of grape (unpatented), but distinguished therefrom by bearing berries which ripen at least two weeks earlier than the Delight variety, and which is substantially free from the distinct muscat flavor characteristic of the Delight variety.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is somewhat similar to the Roysum Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,619) and the Angeleno Plum Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 2,747) concurrently with which it bears fruit which is characteristically a full dark Purplish-Red color of uniform globular shape and by its firm, Golden Yellow flesh which has Purplish-Red pigment diffused into the flesh next to the fruit skin, and further characterized by the extreme tightness with which the flesh fibers adhere to the stone surface.

Abstract: A grapevine particularly characterized by its grapes which are generally similar to those of the "Garmeria" grapevine, but characterized as to novelty by producing grapes which are ready for harvest several days after the "Garmeria" grapevine and furthermore by producing berries which have a strong attachment to the pedicel and being larger and more elongated in shape than the "Garmeria" variety.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of plum tree which is characterized by fruit which has a deep blue, almost black skin color and which possesses a yellow-colored flesh, the fruit having excellent shipping and storage qualities.

Abstract: A new and distinct peach tree denominated varietally as "Summer Sun", generally resembling the June Lady Peach Tree (unpatented), but bearing a freestone fruit having a yellow, firm, and crisp flesh, and which is mature for harvesting approximately 15 through 20 June, later than that of the June Lady Peach Tree.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of peach tree which is characterized by fruit which is freestone in nature and has a flesh which is crisp and bright color having a skin which is of medium thickness and tenacious to flesh which makes the subject variety an exceptional peach to handle and ship.

Abstract: The grapevine is particularly characterized by its grapes which are generally similar in date or ripening to those of the Flame Seedless Grapevine (unpatented), having the physical characteristics of being seedless, similar to the Flame Seedless but which is distinguished therefrom by producing smaller clusters of grapes which are nearly Red-black in color, in contrast to the red color of the Flame Seedless variety of grapevine (unpatented).
