Abstract: The present invention relates to a nectarine tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety broadly characterized by a medium sized, vigorous, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described approximately the third week in June, with first picking on Jun. 25, 1999. The fruit is uniformly medium in size, acidic and sweet in flavor, globose in shape, clingstone in type, firm and crisp in texture, and fully red in skin color. The variety was a first generation cross using Diamond Ray U.S. Plant Pat. No. (8,948) yellow flesh nectarine as the selected seed parent and an unnamed nectarine seedling as the selected pollen parent.

Abstract: The claimed cultivar brings a new color to the Trumpet series of Petunias and is characterized by a purple colored flower accented in its center with dark purple veining, over medium green foliage. As with all Trumpet Petunias, this cultivar exhibits early flowering with superior branching so that the plant may also be used in a hanging pot.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Ornithogalum thyrosides named ‘Tipper’, characterized by its creamy white tepal color with black coloring near ovary; leaf color of 137A RHS; lanceolate leaf shape and flat growing leaves.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of interspecific tree (Prunus salicina×(Prunus salicina×Prunus armeniaca)); the features of the tree and its fruit are characterized with the tree budded on Nemaguard rootstock (unpatented), grown on Hanford sandy loam soil with Storie Index rating 95, in USDA Hardiness Zone 9, near Modesto, Calif., and with standard commercial cultural fruit growing practices, such as pruning, thinning, spraying, irrigation and fertilization. Its novelty consists of the following unique combination of features that are desirable in a new interspecific tree: 1. Heavy and regular production of large size fruit. 2. Fruit ripening in the late maturity season. 3. Fruit with firm flesh, good storage and shipping quality. 4. Fruit with high soluble solids, averaging 17.4° Brix. 5. Relatively uniform size of fruit throughout the tree. 6. Fruit holding firm on the tree 14 to 18 days after maturity (shipping ripe). 7. Fruit with good flavor and eating quality. 8.

Abstract: A variety of Trichilia dregeana having small leaves and short internodal spacing.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the development of a new and distinct interspecific mint hybrid ‘Neerkalka’ developed by sexual crossing between improved Mother plant Mentha arvensis (cv Kalka) and pollen plant Mentha spicata (cv Neera), which hybrid is propagated vegetatively by suckers or stem cuttings and is stable for commerical cultivation.

Abstract: ‘Schwartze’ is characterized by fruit which is large, firm, easily capped and very late seasoned. The fruit is high in yield, has excellent flesh flavor, and very low levels of preharvest fruit rot.

Abstract: A distinct cultivar of Cymbidium plant named ‘Everglades Gold’, characterized by a compact, upright growth habit with particular vigor in summer temperatures with a diurnal range of 70-95 degrees Fahrenheit, that is not normally characteristic of Cymbidium. Leaves are of intermediate diameter, upright till of length of approximately 20″ when they arch outwardly. The intensely colored cadmium yellow flowers are carried on a fleshy, erect peduncle without any arching character. Flowers will maintain quality with no obvious senescence for a minimum of 35 days in 70-95 degree Fahrenheit temperature range.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Impatiens plant named ‘Danharltpk’ characterized by having large, round, light-pink flowers borne above the foliage, vigorous branching, dark green foliage, and compact growth habit.
