the writer believes, proved very effica- 

 cious so far. 



Wheu the time comes that the society 

 has ample funds at hand, has green- 

 houses of sufficient extent and growing 

 grounds to supplement them, and has in 

 its employ and under its control a corps 

 of expert growers and plantsmen and a 

 large collection of growing specimens, 

 as well as a complete herbarium, it will 

 then be in a position to investigate 

 matters pertaining to the identity of 

 plants with a reasonable possibility of 

 certainty in the results; but if it should 

 undertake such investigations, attempt to 

 do such work and assume to pronounce 

 authoritatively upon such subjects now, 

 it would inevitably be led into error, its 

 work would be discredited and more 

 harm would be done in the long run 

 than any possible good which might be 

 accomplished. 



The publication of these applications 

 for registry has brought cases of re- 

 naming to light in the past and will do 

 BO in the future. It is, of course, de- 

 sirable and is the intent of the society 

 to require full information as to the 

 origin of plants for which registry appli- 

 cation is made, and to require a rea- 

 sonable description of the same, so there 

 are not likely to be many eases in which 

 a second use of the same name will es- 

 cape the sharp eyes of the many shrewd 

 plantsmen who read the trade papers. 



While registry is made after waiting 

 a reasonable interval subsequent to pub- 

 lication, yet there is nothing to prevent 

 complaints being filed at a later date, 

 and while the writer is inclined to think 

 that a registry once made and entered 

 must stand unless properly withdrawn, 



yet in case of a proved error in which 

 the p'erson making the registry refuses 

 to withdraw it, it would be the duty of 

 the secretary to make public in the press, 

 and to print in the annual volume in 



raVERY now and then a well 

 »SI pleased reader speaks the word 

 which is the means of bringing a new 

 advertiser to

 appreciated.

 tiser. We especially wish to interest

connection with the registry, a full state- 

 ment of the facts. 



It is accepted in all matters of plant 

 naming that priority of publication es- 

 tablishes the name. Begistry by the 

 S. A. F. fixes and records the date at 

 which each name is selected, provides a 



way to authoritatively settle disputes in 

 subsequent years, and gives notice to aU 

 persons subsequently desiring to name 

 plants of the same class that the name 

 in question has been used and is to be 

 avoided. 



The foregoing sets forth, as far as the 

 writer understands it, the present intent 

 of plant registry by this society. Fur- 

 ther than this, under present conditions, 

 it does not seem either feasible or desir- 

 able to go. The submission of all appli- 

 cations for registry to the nomenclature 

 committee has been suggested. It might 

 be well to state that the society at the 

 present time has no nomenclature com- 

 mittee, and it would seem a matter of 

 great difficulty to get a committee of 

 this kind, which would have to consist 

 of men of great knowledge and be pro- 

 vided with facilities for growing, com- 

 paring and testing varieties. It would 

 seem, I repeat, a matter of great diffi- 

 culty to get such a committee, who would 

 undertake and carry out the vast amount 

 of work which it has been suggested 

 should be loaded upon their shoulders, 

 as they could be given no adequate com- 

 pensation for their services. 



Another question would be the long de- 

 lay which would occur before any plant 

 could be registered, and also the hostil- 

 ity of the introducers which would sure- 

 ly follow any attempt to put burden- 

 some restrictions upon them. 



It should be made easy to register 

 plant names instead of difficult.
