Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Almond Tree which is somewhat remotely similar to the Nonpareil Almond Tree (unpatented) but from which it is distinguished therefrom by producing a crop which is mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately Sept. 1 under the ecological conditions prevailing in Hickman, Calif.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a peach tree and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a large size, vigorous, hardy, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the first week in June, with first picking on June 3, 1988. The fruit is uniformly large in size, good in flavor, attractively oblate in shape, clingstone in type, very firm in texture making excellent quality for keeping and shipping, and almost full red in skin color at harvest time. The variety was developed as a hybridized seedling from the selected seed parent, Red Diamond (U.S. Pat. No. P.P. 3,165) nectarine, and an unnamed peach seedling as the selected pollen parent.
Abstract: I disclose that my herein invention of a new variety of Zoysia grass plant, was discovered by me through my cross-pollination of selected varieties of Zoysia grass plants, then through asexual repropagation, selected the new and distinct variety of Zoysia grass plant ZT-11, which produces an outstanding dark olive green color with a uniform turfgrass surface that has virtually no seedheads with a very upright growth characteristic from stolons and rhizomes, then held complete green color throughout several winter periods. The anthers of the new claimed variety of Zoysia grass plant are dark purplish red color as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart; the stigmas are pale yellow green color, as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart; the stolons are a very dark red color, as defined by the ISCC-NBS centroid color chart with stolon internodes closer together.
