Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct variety of pear tree (Variety 217) which is useful as a size-controlling pear rootstock. The new variety originated as a single seedling selected from a large group of pear seedling 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 85% of the size of like pear trees grown on Domestic Bartlett seedling rootstocks (Pyrus communis). This "semi-standard" selection can be easily increased by vegetative propagation methods using both hard and softwood cuttings. It is graft-compatible with all major pear varieties. It was selected for its non-rootsuckering habit, its high yield efficiency, its resistance to the Fireblight disease and its high tolerance of the Pear Decline disease.
Abstract: A liner hanger and setting tool for use in oil well completions employing a liner hanger having a one piece body member and spring biased slips and a setting tool having a hydraulically actuated slip release mechanism normally retaining the slips in a retracted position and operable upon application of fluid pressure for releasing such slips. The setting tool has a retrievable pack-off bushing disposed in the bore of the liner hanger and a threaded nut type of release for disconnecting the setting tool from the liner hanger. The setting tool requires pressure for setting and rotation for release.
