Abstract: A new and distinct variety of peach tree denominated varietally as "Early Elegant Lady" and which is somewhat similar to the Elegant Lady Peach Tree (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,399) with which it is most closely related but which is distinguished therefrom and characterized as to novelty by producing fruit which are mature for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately June 22 through July 1 in Fresno County, Calif., the subject variety maturing for commercial harvesting and shipment approximately seven days earlier than that of the Elegant Lady Peach Tree.

Abstract: A new and distinct spring bearing variety of strawberry plant, characterized by its ability to produce large, glossy, dark crown crop berries during the early spring when given adequate chilling before being winter planted in southern California.It is distinguished by its consistently good shaped fruit that reflect an abundance of pollen production and uniformly fertilized pistil and achenes that develop. This crown crop fruit with its large calyx is borne on long thick pedicils. The plant is considered dark, and is vigorous only if given adequate chilling before being planted. This variety has the ability to continue cropping even in the summer, after the picking for the fresh market has been terminated.

Abstract: This invention relates to a new and distinct day-neutral variety of strawberry plant called `Irvine`. The variety has a chilling requirement lower than `Selva`. It has a high yield and produces a large, firm fruit which is symmetrical and ranges from conic medium to flat and wedgy in shape. The variety is quite flexible in that it can be planted commercially or in the home garden and the fruit is recommended for the fresh market or for processing. The fruit of `Irvine` is juicier and has a better flavor than `Selva`.

Abstract: A new and distinct plant variety of the Cactaceae family is of the type known commercially as a "Christmas Cactus" and has a growth habit which is similar to that the "Twilight Tangerine" variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 4,200) but which, nevertheless, differs, among other things, by having phylloclades with longer and thicker midribs and thicker wings and teeth, a bloom with more intense salmon coloration, and flowers which are sterile and have a sepaloid series of tepals with a smaller number of tepals and shorter tepal lengths and smaller tepal widths, a tube laminating series of tepals with a larger number of tepals and greater tepal widths, a tube forming series of tepals with greater widths, and a longer perianth tube.

Abstract: A new and distinct plant variety of the Cactaceae family is of the type known commercially as a "Christmas Cactus" and has a growth habit which is similar to that of the "Kris Kringle" variety (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 3,688) but which, nevertheless, differs, among other things, by having phylloclades with thicker and wider wings and with thicker and longer teeth, and sterile flowers with shorter perianth tubes and tube laminating and forming tepals that have generally wider blades.
