GIVE YOUR PLACE A GOOD NAME. 11 



glorious petals of the flower. Jewelers have patterned their finest work in 

 gold and gems upon its graceful outlines. Artists have vied with each 

 other to reproduce its beauties. Architects and mural artists have shown 

 by their works that no flower is its superior either in foliage or bloom for 

 their decorative metamorphoses. Production and trade have seized upon 

 its charm to adorn their illuminated labels and trade-marks. In short, 

 proceeding from regular coronation by the highest constituted authority 

 in the State in floral lines, all through innumerable popular endorsement 

 of the initial proclamation of her floral majesty, the golden poppy came to 

 be every inch a floral queen, and was already secure in the popular heart 

 when declared by legislative act to be the chosen floral emblem of Cali- 

 fornia. 



Individualize The Home Place. And now that we have a state 

 thus fitly and beautifully symbolized it is desirable that each home-maker 

 should choose a name and emblem for his own home-place and nothing is' 

 better than some natural object which he admires or some cultural achieve- 

 ment which has given him joy and satisfaction and which is characteristic 

 of his particular place upon the earth. Everyone should know that the 

 State favors the choosing of a name for the home-spot and protects the 

 choice. This is the California law as approved on March 9, 1909 : 



"Any person may adopt a name for any farm or estate owned or leased 

 by him, and register it in the manner provided for the registration of 

 trade marks. Such registration shall have the same effect as the registra- 

 tion of a trade mark. 



"Any person selling or marketing the products grown on any particular 

 farm or estate may use the name of such farm or estate as a trade mark on 

 such products in the same manner as provided for other trade marks, and 

 subject to the same rights and duties." 



Thus the great State of California recognizes the fact that its future 

 rests upon the home, which every good citizen delights to honor.
