Abstract: A new and distinct apple variety which originated as a limb mutation of the standard Cortland apple tree (non-patented) is provided. This new apple variety can be distinguished by its compact vigorous growth habit, and the ability to form fruit on spurs which are present in substantially greater numbers per linear foot on two, three, and four year old wood. The tree upon maturity is only approximately 60 to 65 percent of the size of the standard Cortland apple tree.

The buds are ovoid oblong, green in the spring and summer, and change to brown in the fall. The foliage is dense and tends to spread.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of Ilex which originated as a cross-pollination of Ilex rugosa and Ilex cornuta is provided. The new variety possesses attractive medium green foliage, produces an abundance of staminate flowers, and exhibits a compact and symmetrical growth habit and good tolerance to cold.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Crossandra infundibuliformis to be known as `Diane`, the new cultivar being principally distinguished from the commonly cultivated variety by its larger sized and more broadly shaped leaves, its more robust and compact habit of growth and its flowers whose color is a darker, richer shade of salmon orange and whose petals are more rounded and larger in size than those of the commonly cultivated variety.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of kalanchoe particularly suitable for year-around four or six inch pot plant production and distinguished by its dark red flowers held high above an abundant display of large, shiny, dark green leaves.

Abstract: A new chrysanthemum cultivar for fall garden culture having a profuse production of relatively small, daisy-like flowers which form a dense mound of color. This plant has a rapid and vigorous growth habit and blooms naturally in the mid-season of fall, growing to a height of about 50 to 75 centimeters. This plant may also be grown as a year-round four inch pot plant and will not become vegetative and rosette under cool temperatures.
Abstract: A new variety of poinsettia plant having the important characteristics of the red variety Gutbier's V-14 (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,384), known commercially as "Glory", including the unique ability to produce numerous side shoots on its stem and the production of bracts with short petioles which prevent tubing, but distinguished by the fact that its bracts have a distinctive pink color.
