As it was Decorated for the Auto Parade Given Durinpr the Perry Centennial the First Week iii August at Mihvaulcee, Wis. that he does not always know what is already in the trade or what the other fellow may likewise introduce. In sweet peas more than one grower has discovered the same "break" in a variety, named and sent it out. The English sweet pea trial grounds offer a good example of what may be ac- complished in detecting these and in inducing growers to adopt the same name. It is probable that what has been done with peonies, sweet peas and gladioli should also be done with hardy roses, perennial phloxes, irises, dahlias, tulips, etc. Care- fully conducted trials under the su- pervision of the Society of American Florists must sooner or later be made of all of these and other flowers. This is an important question and I have brought it to the attention of the so- ciety, but owing to the fact that the scientific staff are not permitted to read their reports, there cannot be a discussion of the reports, and there- fore, no immediate action. It is hoped that some action may be taken by this great organization, which should take the lead in the solution of this matter, as well as of all questions affecting the permanence and dignity of the indus- try.
