The Florists^ Review 



Jdly 17, 1919. 



Tevis dahlia was seen in the window 

 of the retail store of Avansino Bros., 

 on Geary street. The huge bunch of 

 variegated bronze blooms attracted 

 mueli favorable attention. 



J. B. Boland 's flower store, formerly 

 located at 60 Kearny street, is occupy- 

 ing temporary quarters at 45 and 47 

 Lick place until a more suitable location 

 is obtained. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. is busy 

 just now at the nurseries, executing 

 several large landscape gardening con- 

 tracts. Bert Harris, manager of the 

 Palace stand of this firm, was obliged 

 to journey to Los Angeles recently on a 

 sad errand. Mr. Harris was enjoying a 

 vacation when he received word of the 

 sudden death of his father, who resided 

 in the southern city. 



Patrick Orr, of the Albert O. Stein 

 Co., is enjoying his annual rest and Mr. 

 Stein himself expects to leave during 

 the latter part of the month. M. M. 



PROTECTINa RAISERS' RIGHTS. 



Members of the trade in Europe have 

 of late much discussed the possibilities 

 of protecting the rights of plant raisers 

 in the manner that inventors are pro- 

 tected by patents and authors by copy- 

 rights. British growers are attempting 

 the draft of a statute to present to Par- 

 liament. 



At the Horticultural Congress, held in 

 Paris in June, one of the principal ques- 

 tions discussed was that of the regis- 

 tration of novelties and the protection 

 of the rights of the raisers. To many, 

 the problem seemed insoluble. There 

 appeared to them to be no means of 

 securing the rights of a producer in a 

 plant, in the same way that they are 

 secured to the producer of a work of art 

 or literature. The congress recalled 

 what had already been attempted, 

 namely, the registration of novelties in 

 a list, national or international, with the 

 description of the plant, and the issue 

 of a certificate to the raiser, and thought 

 the matter might well be studied by a 

 special commission. The demand was 

 formulated that the names of plants sub- 

 mitted for award should in every case 

 be followed by the name of the raiser 

 or introducer. On the proposition of 

 M. Rivoire, of Lyons, the congress re- 

 solved that a national bureau for the 

 study of novelties should be created, 

 with a sufficiency of funds for the pur- 

 pose.
