Abstract: A new variety of rose plant of the hybrid tea class, being a half-hardy outdoor tall bush seedling, particularly adapted for garden decoration. This new rose cultivar is unique and distinguishable from existing rose cultivars by the following combination of characteristics: its large flowers of pastel coloration are borne singly on long strong stems suitable for cutting; its abundant large deep green foliage attractively clothes a tall, well-branched bush; its large, long pointed buds open in a classic spiraled form; and its vigor and profusion of bloom provides an easy-to-grow satisfying garden plant.

Abstract: This present invention relates to a spun yarn having novel structure and a method of producing the same. The spun yarn of the present invention consists of a number of fibers arranged in a predetermined direction and twisted together, one end of which fibers is spirally wound around the surface of the yarn. The yarn of the present invention is spun by successively passing a sliver through a pneumatic yarn twisting device, untwisting tube, and false twisting device in turn. The twisting device, untwisting tube and false twisting device are disposed between front rollers and delivery rollers.

Abstract: A simple and quickly appliable bag closure device which automatically tightens the neck of the bag. According to a preferred embodiment of the invention the device comprises a label holder in the form of a generally flattened base and a cover for closure over the base. Said base and cover are provided with means permitting them to be sealed in the closed position by means of a security seal. The base is centrally formed with a cavity shaped to receive a lever which is a separate part of the label holder although connected thereto by a string fixed at one end to one of various points along the length of the lever and at the other end to a label. The lever is formed, with relation to the cavity, so that it may be pivoted about one end to apply an automatic tightening to the neck of the bag about which the lever is passed before being placed in the cavity. The closure of the cover over the base also closes the lever in the cavity.
