Abstract: An ancillary laundry composition comprising an ester oil, which is a polyol comprising at least two ester linkages, free perfume and 0 to 0.85 wt. % anionic and/or cationic surfactant. A method of laundering clothes, wherein said composition is added in the wash or rinse stage. A method of preventing colour fade over (10) laundry cycles, wherein fabrics are treated with said composition during each consecutive laundry cycle. The use of said composition to provide an improved colour maintenance or reduced colour fade over consecutive laundry cycles, preferably (10), more preferably (5) laundry cycles.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Fig tree denominated ‘Sequoia’ is described. The new Sequoia fig variety is a high quality, medium to large size, yellow-green skinned fig of the “common” type, developed for use in the fresh market fig industry. The Sequoia tree is of medium vigor and size and is a regular and productive bearer, developing both a Breba and second crop in most years. The Sequoia has a tight ostiole that substantially restricts the entry of most insects into the interior of the fig fruit. In comparison with the “Tena” parent cultivar, the Sequoia is substantially larger in size and has a more prolific Breba crop. The larger size of the Sequoia allows it to be harvested later into the fall when the decreased size of other cultivars such as Tena precludes their use in the fresh market.
