I sat on the PoWhatan roof
one night not long ago, where

how hot one gets, a cool breeze
is always there. 1t is heavenly
to sit high above the hot city
among green hedges and gay
flower boxes and look down on
the roofs of Washington's old
houses, the tops of green trees
and the steeples of many
churches, then up at the Wash

all its dignity above the pride
of all Americans, the lovely
White House, with the Capitol
Dome in the distance.
Now the sun sets beyond the

the lights appear over beautiful

FOR BREEDER
OF NEW PLANTS
Ability Now Recognized by
Patent Office.

Granting Of plant patents is the
newest addition to the activities of
the patent office, writes Conway p.
Coe in the United States News. While
the number Of such patents is small,
compared with the more than 1000
600 patents of all kinds which have
been issued, they have shown a large
increase since the passing of the
plant patent law in 1890 Eventually
the protection afforded plant breed
ers by the new law may prove i'm
portant in encouraging the develop
ment Of new plants.
What is the procedure in filing an
application for plant patent?
In filing an application for a plant
patent the specifications should be in
duplicate and the drawing also,
where colors are involved Color
drawings must be made on heavy
(two or three ply) Whatman paper
(or equaD, in permanent water or oil
colors. Where color is not a varia-
ton upon which the plant depends
for its patentability the drawing
may be filed in black and white, in
which case only one copy of the
drawing will be necessary.
The reason for filing the drawings
and specifications in duplicate is that
ii may be necessary to have the ex-
perts in the Department of Agricul-
ture pass upon the applications as to
whether the variety is new; and in
such cases the patent office would not
care to allow the original application
to pass out Of its possession In the
case of plant patent, the Oaths must
allege that the plant has been asexu-
ally reproduced and that it has not
been introduced to the public prior to
May %, 1890.
The form used in plant patents is
substantially the design form OF
claim.
The bureau of plant industry of
the Agricultural department is con
suited as to whether or not the va
riety Of plant for which n patent is
requested is or is not a new variety.
The report of the bureau of plant
industry enables the examiner to de-
termine what his action shall be
upon the examination of the applica-
ton.
Plant patents are classified IN
class AZ, plant husbandry, sub
classes 50. 60, 61 and 60.
What are the grounds OF issuance
of a patent?
Some merits claimed are easily es-
tablished. For example, the length
of the period of ripening is regarded
as a distinctive characteristic of diff
ferent varieties of grapes.
One grape which has been patented
ripens from Is TO % days earlier
than ordinary varieties. In the pat
ent granted for this grape 1t is ex-
planned that this quality of early ma
turity greatly simplifies the problem
of harvesting.
The harvest of this variety can be

For some fruits, flavor and color
are distinctive features on which a
patent is granted.
The patent office will consider afli-
davits from those bOtanists or horti-
culturists of recognized ability in
their line as to the newness of a va
riety for which a patent is sought.
