Abstract: The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of carnation plant, named Carrier's Fiesta, originated by me by crossing unnamed and unpatented seedlings; distinguished from its parents as well as any other variety known to me by its pink-orange color, its superior resistance to soil borne diseases, and its flowers that open fully without bursting the calyx and causing splits.

Abstract: A floribunda rose variety having a pale orange bud and flower, stiff and heavy textured petals, large foliage, resistance to rose powdery mildew, few thorns, straight stems, and slight fragrance.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of pear tree (Variety 40) which is useful as a size-controlling clonal pear rootstock. The new variety originated as a single seedling which was selected from a large group of pear seedlings which were grown from open-pollinated seed. This seed was harvested from Old Home pear trees (Pyrus communis) growing in an isolated planting with Farmingdale pollinizers.Pear varieties grown on the understock of this new rootstock clone are approximately 65% of the size of like pear trees grown on Domestic Bartlett seedling rootstocks (Pyrus communis). This "dwarfing" selection can be easily increased by vegetative propagation methods; particularly by hard and softwood cuttings. It is graft-compatible with all major pear varieties. It was selected for its non-rootsuckering habit, its resistance to the Fireblight disease and its tolerance of the Pear Decline disease. It is hardy, early bearing, and has demonstrated good root-anchorage in all orchard sites where tested.

Abstract: The invention relates to an atomizer burner assembly for oil burners. The assembly has electric heating apparatus for maintaining a relatively constant temperature for the oil supply over a range of throughputs which may vary for different atomizer nozzles, for example, from 0.5 to 2.5 l/h. The heating apparatus includes a PTC resistor mounted in the supply pipe in series with a near zero temperature coefficient heating element which surrounds the supply pipe at a longitudinal position between the PTC resistor and the atomizer nozzle. The PTC resistor controls the heat generated by the heating element in accordance with the temperature of the throughput oil to maintain a constant temperature for the throughput oil.

Abstract: A well washing tool which may comprise: a tubular mandrel; first and second packer assemblies carried on the mandrel at opposite ends thereof; an outer tubular body surrounding the mandrel between the packer assemblies; an annular chamber between the mandrel and the surrounding tubular body; and a valve assembly carried within the annular chamber. The tubular mandrel is adapted for connecting the tool in a pipe string extending to the surface of the well and the lower end may be adapted for blocking flow of fluids from the pipe string through the mandrel flow passage. Ports are provided in the walls of the mandrel and the tubular body permitting fluid communication between the mandrel flow passage and the exterior of the tool. The valve assembly prevents such fluid communication by blocking one or more of the ports.
