INTRODUCTION Applicant moves for judgment on the pleadings (“Motion”), arguing that “there is no genuine issue as to Opposer’s lack of prior rights in a trademark that could be confusingly similar to Applicant’s Mark.” (Motion pg. 3.)1 Applicant’s Motion is not well taken. It acknowledges that Opposer has alleged exactly what it takes issue with – that Opposer has prior rights in a trademark that could be confusingly similar to Applicant’s Mark. Despite this, Applicant seeks to take issue with those allegations, implicitly contending that Opposer will be unable to prove what it has alleged. (Motion pg. 2.) This is not a proper basis for judgment on the pleadings, which must accept as true all allegations asserted in the Opposition.

Once the sugar is completely dissolved, remove from heat to cool. 2. Squeeze the lemons. Roll each lemon over your cutting board, pressing down as you do. This will help them to release their juice. Cut in half and squeeze. Repeat until you have one cup. You may not need all the lemons but try to save at least one half if you want to garnish your glasses. 3. Combine. Add the cooled syrup to your pitcher, followed by the lemon juice and the remaining 4 cups of water. Stir. Taste and adjust: add a few tablespoons of sugar if it needs to be sweeter or the juice of 1/2 lemon if it needs more tartness. 4. Add ice. Add ice to pitcher if you think you will drink the whole pitcher right away. Otherwise add ice to each glass. Garnish. It's optional, but garnishes are fun.

  • Reaction of Types of Citrus As Scion and As Rootstock to Xyloporosis Virus
    ARY A. SALIBE and SYLVIO MOREIRA Reaction of Types of Citrus as Scion and as Rootstock to Xyloporosis Virus THEVIRUS of xyloporosis (cachexia) (2,4, 10) is widespread in many commercial varieties of citrus ( 1, 5, 6, 8).For this reason, it is of special interest to know the reaction between it and various types of citrus that are presently used as rootstocks or may eventually be so used. This paper reports the results of tests conducted to determine this reaction for a number of different types of citrus. Materials and Methods In September, 1960, 2-year-old Cleopatra mandarin [Citrus reshni (Engl.) Hort. ex Tanaka] seedlings in the nursery were inoculated with xyloporosis virus by budding each seedling with three buds from a single old-line Bargo sweet orange [C. sinensis (L.) Osbeck] tree on Dancy tan- gerine (C. tangerina Hort. ex Tanaka) rootstock exhibiting the gummy- peg and wood-pitting type of xyloporosis symptoms. This tree was known to be carrying both xyloporosis and tristeza viruses but neither psorosis nor exocortis viruses. Two months later, each of two of these seedlings was budded just above the inoculating bud with one or another of 122 different types of citrus, each bud being taken from a tree of a nucellar line, except in the case of the monoembryonic types. Identical numbers of non-inocu- lated Cleopatra mandarin seedlings were budded with these citrus types to serve as control plants. All seedlings were cut back to allow the buds to sprout. They were inspected periodically by taking out a strip of bark at the bud-union, the last inspection being made 33 months after inocula- tion.

  • Improvement of Subtropical Fruit Crops: Citrus
    IMPROVEMENT OF SUBTROPICAL FRUIT CROPS: CITRUS HAMILTON P. ÏRAUB, Senior Iloriiciilturist T. RALPH ROBCNSON, Senior Physiolo- gist Division of Frnil and Vegetable Crops and Diseases, Bureau of Plant Tndusiry MORE than half of the 13 fruit crops known to have been cultivated longer than 4,000 years,according to the researches of DeCandolle (7)\ are tropical and subtropical fruits—mango, oliv^e, fig, date, banana, jujube, and pomegranate. The citrus fruits as a group, the lychee, and the persimmon have been cultivated for thousands of years in the Orient; the avocado and papaya were important food crops in the American Tropics and subtropics long before the discovery of the New World. Other types, such as the pineapple, granadilla, cherimoya, jaboticaba, etc., are of more recent introduction, and some of these have not received the attention of the plant breeder to any appreciable extent. Through the centuries preceding recorded history and up to recent times, progress in the improvement of most subtropical fruits was accomplished by the trial-error method, which is crude and usually expensive if measured by modern standards. With the general accept- ance of the Mendelian principles of heredity—unit characters, domi- nance, and segregation—early in the twentieth century a starting point was provided for the development of a truly modern science of genetics. In this article it is the purpose to consider how subtropical citrus fruit crops have been improved, are now being improved, or are likel3^ to be improved by scientific breeding. Each of the more important crops will be considered more or less in detail.
