rieties of plants, the granting of certifi- 

 cates of merit and the due recognition 

 of the breeders' work, are all desirable 

 and, so far as they can be carried into 

 effect, will indirectly — but only indirect- 

 ly — be of great assistance in the neces- 

 sary research which the Patent Office 

 undertakes to establish novelty. But 

 since, though desirable, they are not of 

 immediate concern, it will be best to 

 consider them separately later. 



Necessary Procedure. 



"Confining discussion therefore to 

 the question of patenting a plant novel- 

 ty, it will be of advantage to examine 

 in some detail the necessary procedure, 

 the work involved, and the results as 

 they may affect the community and con- 

 sumer, the horticultural trade and par- 

 ticular interests. The procedure in gen- 

 oral would naturally follow the lines of 

 procedure that obtain at present. The 

 raiser or his representative could apply 

 for a patent for any new plant or strain 

 that is not in commerce at the time of 

 application. The Patent Office would 

 examine the claim with respect to nov- 

 elt}' and distinctness and if satisfied 

 would grant a patent for a term of years 

 to be decided. The fees and the mode 

 of paying them would likewise be de- 

 termined with due regard to the special 

 cliaracter of the subject. 



"It will be necessary for the Patent 

 Office to establish a new department — • 

 which will simply be an additional de- 

 partment to those already existing. The 

 preliminary work involved in organizing 

 this department while the necessary lists 

 and data are being compiled will be 

 heavy. Experts certainly will be re- 

 quired, but not more so than in any 

 other department, and the work will bo 

 greatly facilitated by existing horticul- 

 tural records — the R. H. S. list of cer- 

 tificated varieties; the proceedings of
