Abstract: The present invention is a new and distinct spring bearing red raspberry cultivar named ‘Emily’, which is capable of producing highly cohesive and firm fruit in the spring midseason, the fruit being larger and more durable than that of the standard cultivars. The cultivar is characterized by moderate suckering ability, small red thorns and its large and elongate fruit which have a much narrower cavity than standard cultivars. Because of this trait, the fruit of ‘Emily’ is structurally more sound than other cultivars.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of peach Prunus persica, tree having the following unique combination of desirable features: 1. The new and distinct variety of peach is of moderate spreading growth and a regular and productive producer of large highly-colored peaches. 2. Producing a very firm fruit having a resilient flesh texture. 3. Blossoms are non-showy when in full bloom. 4. A substantially spherical fruit with an attractive red skin coloring over most of the surface. 5. Early to mid-season maturing fruit of good taste. 6. A peach of good storage and shelf life.

Abstract: A miniature rose plant having the unique combination of a compact, rounded growth habit; bright, deep pink colored, distinctive, small hybrid tea-shaped flowers; and small, dark green, disease resistant foliage.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘Tamar Fuchsia’, characterized by its large, red purple-colored flowers; freely flowering habit with flowers positioned above or beyond the foliage; upright, somewhat outwardly spreading, rounded, uniform and compact plant habit; freely branching growth habit; and very dark green leaves.

Abstract: A distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant named ‘Rousillon’, characterized by its upright, uniformly mounded and compact plant habit; freely branching habit, full and dense plants; continuous and freely flowering during the spring until fall; full inflorescences with multiple rows of ray florets; dark orange-colored ray florets with bright yellow-colored disc florets; and excellent garden and patio container performance.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of geranium plant named ‘Fisrimba’, as described and illustrated, and particularly characterized by the combined features of the brilliant deep-pink to cherry red flower color, large, double flowers, medium green foliage with weak zonation and glossy surface, with vigorous growth, and relatively well-branched, moderately long, trailing plant habit.

Abstract: A distinct cultivar of Dahlia plant named ‘Picardie’ characterized by its upright, uniformly mounded and compact plant habit; freely branching habit, full and dense plants; continuous and freely flowering during the spring until fall; full inflorescences with multiple rows of ray florets; bright yellow-clored ray florets with bright yellow-colored disc florets; and excellent garden and patio container performance.

Abstract: A new and distinct variety of peach tree which is distinguished by the ability of its flower buds to survive cold temperatures that are typically injurious to flower buds of standard peach varieties during dormancy and bloom, resulting in the production of fruit even in years when such cold temperatures eliminate the crop on standard peach varieties. The variety produces freestone, yellow flesh fruit that are mature for fresh consumption approximately July 7-10 in south central North Carolina.

Abstract: A new Kalanchoe cultivar named ‘Forever Midi Orange Ember’ characterized by the combined features of the deep orange flower color, uniform green colored leaves, dense and full flower display and excellent basal branching.

Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of New Guinea Impatiens plant named ‘Tamar Pink’, characterized by its dark pink-colored flowers; freely flowering habit with flowers positioned above or beyond the foliage; upright, somewhat outwardly spreading, rounded, uniform and compact plant habit; freely branching growth habit; and glossy dark green leaves.

Abstract: A method of forming a capacitor on a semiconductor wafer includes: a) in a dry etching reactor, selectively anisotropically dry etching a capacitor contact opening having a minimum selected open dimension into an insulating dielectric layer utilizing selected gas flow rates of a reactive gas component and an inert gas bombarding component, the flow rate of the bombarding component significantly exceeding the flow rate of the reactive component to effectively produce a capacitor contact opening having grooved striated sidewalls and thereby defining female capacitor contact opening striations; b) providing a layer of an electrically conductive storage node material within the striated capacitor contact opening; c) removing at least a portion of the conductive material layer to define an isolated capacitor storage node within the insulating dielectric having striated sidewalls; d) etching the insulating dielectric layer selectively relative to the conductive material sufficiently to expose at least a portion of
