now seems absolutely necessary that those 

 of us having the interests of the business 

 at heart should recommend our fellow 

 seedsmen to respect the energies and 

 progressive methods of each other; and 

 it is further 



"Resolved, That the originator, dis- 

 coverer or introducer of a new variety of 

 seed, grain or plant has the sole right of 

 naming said variety, and that this name 

 should be the one under which this vari- 

 ety is to be known in the trade there- 

 after, and the name not altered (except 

 that it may be optional to leave off the 

 name of the individual or firm, when 

 used as a prefix) or changed in any way 

 until it is absolutely demonstrated by 

 continued selection the variety has been 

 so improved or changed as to warrant its 

 being given a new name. 



"Resolved, That where a seedsman 

 spends time and money in search of new 

 and distinct varieties of seeds, that it is 

 his right to name any variety he may dis- 

 cover which has merit and which has not 

 heretofore been catalogued or offered by 

 the American seed trade. 



"Resolved, That we, the board of di- 

 rectors of the Wholesale Seedsmen's 

 League, hereby express our strong disap- 

 proval of the practice that has occasion- 

 ally obtained with some dealers of offer- 

 ing under new names such varieties of 

 seeds, or plants, which should be known 

 only under the names given to them by 

 their introducers; which original names 

 may be fairly considered as trademarks, 

 and the property of the originator or in- 

 troducer. 



"Resolved, That we hereby pledge the 

 influence and the support of the "Whole- 

 sale Seedsmen's League to the end that, 

 when introducers of newly discovered or 

 improved varieties of seeds shall have dis- 

 seminated the same under special names, 

 they should be protected against unwar- 

 ranted and unfair competition through 

 the offering of these novelties by others 

 under other names than those given to 

 them by the originators or introducers. 



"Resolved, That the secretary of the 

 league be instructed to take up this sub- 

 ject with the American Seed Trade Asso- 

 ciation, with a view to having said as-
