the E. H. S. committees; the admirable 

 annual lists of new and rare plants in 

 the Gardeners' Chronicle; the lists com- 

 piled by various societies devoted to 

 particular flowers; trade lists, and many 

 other records in horticultural literature. 

 When completed, and all records duly 

 filed, the subsequent work will only con- 

 sist in keeping them up-to-date, and the 

 research for novelty will be little more 

 than routine for the great majority of 

 claims. When necessary the depart- 

 ment would have the power to require 

 the claimant to submit the plants or 

 strains for expert examination and com- 

 parison, either on his own grounds or at 

 a testing station. This work might be 

 done in conjunction with the E. H. S. 

 or the department might establish test- 

 ing grounds for such cases as would be 

 outside the scope of the E. H. S. com- 

 mittees. There would, of course, also 

 be power to require any other informa- 

 tion and assistance from the claimant 

 that may be found necessary or desir- 

 able. Such information should certainly 

 include the parentage, so far as known 

 — not for immediate publication, but as 

 a record and an assistance in determin- 

 ing the bona fide nature of the claim. 

 In view of these considerations and the 

 probability that the number of claims 

 will not be large — only a fraction of the 

 numbers certified every year — I do not 

 see any reason to suppose that a large 

 body of experts would be required, or 

 that the difficulties would be in any way 

 exceptional. 



Testing the IMfflculties. 



"As examples of particular difficul- 

 ties, I may take two — selected strains 

 and too-much-alike varieties. In the case 

 of selected strains, it seems reasonable 

 and in accordance with the established 

 patent ruling, that the selector of the 

 strain would only be entitled to take out 

 a patent for improvement and could only 

 sell his improved strain subject to the 

 payment of a royalty to the original 

 raiser. As regards * too-much-alike ' va- 

 rieties, if the diflPerence, or the new 

 character, though small, was important, 

 constituting 'a preeminently valuable 

 feature,* the new variety would surely 

 have a valid claim to a patent. No in- 

 justice is done to the older variety, and 

 if the latter should be substituted for
