Introduction
Recent decades people demonstrate a heightened interest to essential oils used as medioprophylactic remedies [2]. Such scientific branches as aromatherapy and aromacorrection of the human psychophysical state require not only natural oils of principal essential oil-bearing cultures, like Lavender [5], but oils of rare hardy aromatic plants as well.
Satureja hortensis makes it possible to increase raw material base of essential oil-bearing plants, used for production of expectorant and antimicrobial medicine to treat bronchopulmonary pathology [8]. Guidance of aromatherapy emphasizes anesthetic, antiseptic and wound healing effect of Satureja hortensis essential oil [2]. Typical for this oil burning taste and specific flavor confirms carvacrol content in there. Aqueous-alcoholic extraction of Satureja hortensis from the grass inhibits Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginoza growth [8]. Calamintha nepeta is widespread in many countries as diuretic, gastric and enhancing potency medicine.
The objective of this research is to mark out highly-productive forms, potential sources of essential oil and raw material to comply demands of domestic medicine and perfume-cosmetic industry.
Objects and methods of the research
Selective patterns of Lavandula angustifolia L., Calamintha nepeta (L.) Savi and Satureja hortensis L. were being instigated in 2008-2011 at experimental base of SBE RC RIAC of the Crimea, situated within piedmont zone of the Crimea (vil. Krymskaya Roza in Belogorsky region). This location belongs to the IV agroclimatic district, that is upper piedmont, warm, not humid enough climate, goes to northern subdistrict with moderate mild winter [6]. Soils are piedmont carbonate chernozems on eluvium and deluvium of carbonate rocks. Experimental zone is characterized by moderately continental climate: + 10oC period lasts 5,5-6 months, average annual air temperature is 9,80C according to data of weather station in Belogorsk. Average annual amount of precipitations makes 450-500 mm. Hydrothermal index is 0,92 on average what confirms moderately arid character of agroclimatical conditions during vegetation [4].
Records and observations were carried out according to notes "Selection of essential oil-bearing cultures" [7]. Mass fraction of essential oil in flower-herbaceous material was done being guided by methodological recommendations "Biochemical methods for analysis of essential oil- bearing plants and essential oils" [1]. Component composition of essential oil
was determined applying chromatograph Agilent Technologies 6890 mass-spectrometer sensor 5973. chromatographic column - capillary HP-5 (30 m long); inside diameter - 0,32 m. Carrier gas is helium, stream velocity - 1,5 ml/m. Temperature of input trial heater is 250oC. Thermostat temperature is set in range from 50 till 320 0C with velocity of 40C per minute. Mathematical data treatment is carried out according to "Method of the field experience" by B.A. Dospekhov [3].
Results and discussion
Fifteen selective clones of C.nepeta were investigated and as a result it was found out that essential oil content in the raw material ranged from 0,417 till 0,625%, in the bonedry material - 0,822-1,568%; crop capacity - 236-555 g/plant; essential oil yield - 1,3 -2,9g/plant. As to crop capacity of verdurous masses average sum total with 95% probability ranged 308'432g/plant, while essential oil content in the raw material was 0,520'0,580%, in the bonedry material - 1,186'1,418 (table 1).
5 clones (№№ 3-a, 4-II, 3-b, 68, 3-6) with crop capacity of raw material ranged from 447-555g/plant were marked in terms of this research. These indices were found 3,4-28,5% more than average total sum. At the same time 4 clones (№№ 38-5, 11-5, 68, 11) with mass fraction of essential oil in the raw material ranged from 0,588-0,625% were marked out, as their parameters occurred 1,4-7,8% more than average total sum. As to essential oil yield 3 clones (№№ 3-b, 68, 3-6) significantly exceeded average total sum (2,0±0,3 g/plant) - 17,426,1% more. A complex of economically valuable characters clone №68 (see table 1) was emphasized as its raw material and essential oil are capable to increase raw material base for production of domestic medicines and cosmetic products.

Rate of Lavandula officinalis hybrids gave an opportunity to get economically valuable forms necessary for industry. Crop capacity of study clones was in terms of standard values. Mass fraction of essential oil of all study samples significantly exceeded values of Stepnaya cultivar. As to essential oil yield clone № 417-3 was 47% more than a control sample, while others had an advantage at this parameter (table 2). Bush shape character of all
clones significantly exceeded standard and were rated as 7-9 points. Sample № 417-3 (9 points) was found as the most winter resistant, № 372-1 (47,29%) was marked out as a clone with the highest content of linalyl acetate. Clone № 417-3 was a leader according to economically valuable characters.

In terms of this research 34 essential oil components of S. Hortensis selective sample were marked out while studying its qualitative composition (fig., table 3), main of them are: carvacrol (42,7%), y-terpinene (26,5%), a-terpinene (6,9%), p-cymene (6,9%). Content of these components makes it possible to recommend essential oil of this sample for production of phytopreparations with expectorant, wound healing, bactericidal and fungicidal effects.

Introduction
One of the most important issues of botanical gardens is to extend species and form assortment of plants, used in ornamental gardening. Recent decades plants that possess not only ornamental characteristics but food and medicinal value are especially investigated.
Coniferous plants are widespread in the field of ornamental gardening due to their evergreen needles keeping all year round, prolonged life-span, diversity of forms and phytoncides that have health giving qualities. Moreover seeds of some coniferous cultivars as follows possess high nutritive value: among well-known pines (Pinus sibirica Du Tour, Pinus koraiensis Siebold & Zucc., Pinus pumila Regel, Pinus mugo Turra, Pinus pinea L., Pinus coulteri D.Don and etc.) there is Torreya grandis Fortune ex Lindl. (family Taxaceae) as well, which inhibits in eastern regions of China and is cultivated in Europe and America as an ornamental plant. In China Torreya is an important industrial culture as its seeds besides high nutrition value and interesting taste contain vitamins, mineral elements, proteins and indispensable fatty acids. In addition different plant parts have antihelminthic, antiinflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial effects as well as antitumoral action [6]. Biochemical analysis of Torreya oil extracted out of seeds revealed that it includes 18 components and principal are: linoleic (42,02%) and oleic (32,14%) acids. In the course of Torreya study it was found out this oil possesses antioxidant activity and capacity to output
