Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of Betula papyrifera named ‘Cenci’ characterized by its tight, oval, compact growth habit, slow to moderate growth rate, white, large, shaggy, persisting exfoliating bark when mature and high resistance to the Bronze Birch Borer.
Abstract: The new hop plant variety is a bittering-type cultivar of recent origin. Its bittering and aromatic properties are similar to the Galena hop variety. However, unlike Galena which is susceptible to powdery mildew, the new variety is moderately tolerant to powdery mildew. It is also tolerant to Sphaerotheca. The new variety produces a medium size cone with fair to good pickability, and fair to good storageability. Harvest is medium-late, with a crop yield of 2450 to 2550 pounds per acre (2750 to 2860 kg/ha).
Abstract: A distinct cultivar of Hosta plant named ‘Titanic’, characterized by a unique variegation pattern with dark-green centers and relatively wide uneven yellow margins.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry plant named ‘Cal Giant 3’ that produces equivalent yields of equally high quality fruit in both fumigated and non-fumigated conditions, is resistant to many common foliar and soil borne diseases and pests, and has unusually execellent fruit flavor and aroma. Further, ‘Cal Giant 3’ has the potential to out-produce all currently grown varieties during the first half of the season, and to equal or exceed total season production of all currently grown varieties.
