Abstract: A new and distinct floricane fruiting variety of red raspberry, named ‘Moutere’, botanically identified as Rubus idaeus L. is described. The new variety is distinguished from others by its early season high yields of attractive, uniform sized, large, bright red berries. The plant exhibits a semi spine-free upright growth habit, of strong vigor. The fruit are suitable for consumption as early season high-grade fresh berries and are very attractive when packaged for the fresh market. In addition, the plant has displayed resistance to Raspberry Bushy Dwarf Virus (RBDV) under New Zealand conditions.

Abstract: Mr. Kenneth Gill in Baileyton, Ala. introduces a cultivated seedling selection of Malus ‘Antoanovka’ named ‘Summer Wonder’ which offers the landscape industry a unique disease resistant purple-leafed crabapple with stable color in southern climates (zones 7b/8a) with pinkishreddish purple flowers and desirably small fruit for the urban landscape.

Abstract: A pineapple lily plant particularly distinguished by a short, compact plant habit, a short flower stalk, deep purple-lavender flowers, and floriferousness is described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a peach tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety characterized by a medium size, vigorous, half-hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in late May, with first picking on May 24, 2005. The fruit is very large in size, sweet and acidic in flavor, somewhat oblate in shape, clingstone in type, yellow in flesh color, mostly red in skin color, and melting in texture. The present variety was the result of an open pollinated unnamed peach (unpatented) seedling.

Abstract: A new and distinct viburnum plant named ‘Duvone’ which is distinguished by the same characteristics which make it a valuable ornamental plant; specifically, abundant spicy fragrant flowers, glossy foliage, multi-hued autumn color developing and holding after most deciduous plants have defoliated, and slow growth and tidy habit suitable for smaller scale low maintenance landscapes.

Abstract: A new and distinct Chrysanthemum plant cultivar is disclosed, characterized by large daisy type inflorescences, consistent flowering response to short days, blooming consistently after 50 to 55 days of short day length, bi color orange and yellow ray florets, moderate to compact growth habit and a postharvest longevity of an average of 35 days.

Abstract: A new New Guinea Impatiens plant particularly distinguished by medium to large, round, cup-shaped, brilliant, rose-red to purple-pink flowers with white eyes, an early to medium flowering response, medium green foliage with short leaves, and a medium to tall plant habit that is round and bushy, is disclosed.

Abstract: A new New Guinea Impatiens plant particularly distinguished by very large, round, almost flat, uniform salmon-orange flowers, early flowering, uniform, deep green foliage, and a medium to tall plant habit that is round and bushy, is disclosed.

Abstract: A new Pentas plant particularly distinguished by white flowers, a large flower cluster size, upright form, and a compact and branching growth habit is disclosed.

Abstract: A new Pentas plant particularly distinguished by pink flowers, a large flower cluster size, upright form, and a compact and branching growth habit is disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a peach tree, Prunus persica, and more particularly to a new and distinct variety characterized by a medium size, vigorous, hardy, self-fertile, productive and regular bearing tree. The fruit matures under the ecological conditions described in the latter part of June, with first picking on Jun. 22, 2005. The fruit is uniformly large in size, sub-acid and sweet in flavor, globose in shape, freestone in type, firm in texture, yellow with only minor red streaking in flesh color, and mostly red in skin color.

Abstract: A new cultivar of Kalanchoe plant named ‘Fiveranda Orange’ that is characterized by orange flowers, vigorous growth, strong branching, long flower life, short response time and a uniform crop.

Abstract: A calla lily plant particularly distinguished by its purple-black flower color, higher flower count, and leaves with white maculation is described.

Abstract: Methods for treating plants and fields in agricultural applications are provided by selective delivery of superheated steam. Particularly preferred applications include delivery adjacent to grape vine leaves in order to defoliate basal leaves and to kill localized insect pests, and by injecting superheated steam in strawberry beds prior to planting to kill nematodes. The superheated steam is delivered at temperatures in excess of about 250° F.

Abstract: Refrigeration process for gas liquefaction which utilizes one or more vaporizing refrigerant cycles to provide refrigeration below about ?40° C. and a gas expander cycle to provide refrigeration below about ?100° C. Each of these two types of refrigerant systems is utilized in an optimum temperature range which maximizes the efficiency of the particular system. A significant fraction of the total refrigeration power required to liquefy the feed gas (typically more than 5% and often more than 10% of the total) can be consumed by the vaporizing refrigerant cycles. The invention can be implemented in the design of a new liquefaction plant or can be utilized as a retrofit or expansion of an existing plant by adding gas expander refrigeration circuit to the existing plant refrigeration system.

Abstract: A hanging shoe rack for supporting shoes in an angular manner. A pair of side frame members having an elongate body section. A plurality of support arms project outwardly and downwardly from each main body section. Pairs of retaining bars are positioned between said frame members and are aligned in a plane forming an acute angle with respect to vertical, to thereby support thereon shoes in an angular manner, with the shoes directed downwardly toward a vertical surface upon which the shoe rack is placed. The support arms, upon opposite side frames, traverse side sections of the shoes to form a barrier against lateral movement of the shoes. Unique socket structure, into which the retaining bars are positioned, permit easy assembly of the shoe rack. Additionally, each side frame member includes unique attachment structure, upon upper and lower ends thereof, so that multiple shoe racks of the present invention may be vertically suspended one from another.
