Abstract: Derivatives of azadirachtin are described which should facilitate their synthesis and provide greater stability than their naturally-occurring counterpart. The derivative 2',3',22,-23-tetraydroanzadirachtin is also described, that derivative retaining full activity and having enhanced stability. Insecticidal and antifeedant compositions including these compounds also described.
Abstract: Derivatives of salannin, including 2',3',20,21,22,23-hexahydro salannin and 20,21,22,23-tetrahydro salannin derivatives, having up to 40-fold greater insect antifeedant activity than native salannin.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing Rose Parade as seed parent and Easter Morning as pollen parent; characterized by well-formed delicate, creamy ivory-yellow blooms accented by a deep blush pink at the edge of petals and a deep yellow at the point of attachment. Individual flowers are borne singly and in clusters of three. The plant is vigorous and compact, producing abundant blooms which last well on the plant.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing Gingersnap as seed parent and Orange Honey as pollen parent; characterized by a vivid orange-gold shingle-like bloom accented by a striking deep yellow center and corresponding deep yellow at the point of attachment. The flowers are produced singly and in miniature grandiflora-type sprays on vigorous, upright plants having very attractive deep green, waxy foliage. Fragrance is slightly fruity.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of rose plant of the miniature rose class, which was originated by my crossing an unnamed seedling of Prominent as seed parent and Rise 'n Shine as pollen parent; characterized by striking deep yellow flowers highlighted by a deep orange-red wash at the tip and point of recurl, resulting in a fiery effect. The exceptionally fragrant flowers are borne singly on long, strong cutting canes on this upright, spreading, and vigorous growing plant.
