The patents are unique In that they do not cover new processes of manu- facture, sucITW those luvutved In ma- chlne patents, but protect horticul turists In their possession of a new variety of plant which may be dis tinguished from others by the color of the flower petals, the shape of leaves or, In fact, any distinguishing characteristic. Although no far-reaching impor tance is attached to any such pat ents already granted, this protection may be invaluable to further devel opments, such as the reported experi ments fender which It. is hoped that pulp-wood trees may be coaxed to grow twice os quickly as they do now. Use Color Plates. The new patents involve the use of color plates In registering those which are distinguished solely by a new com bination of colors. Three such patents have been Issued recently, one for a carnation char acterized by Its Intense deep pink color, delicate fragrance and hardi ness; the second patent claiming “a new and distinct variety of rose char acterized by the bronze color of the flower, the length of the bud and Its prolific habit of growth,” and the third patent for a new variety of bramble- berry. The majority of the plant patents have been granted for new varieties of flowers. Sixteen patents were Is sued for roses and nine for other miscellaneous flowers such as carna tions, freesias and dahlias. The rose appears to be the most popular flower, if the number of patents Issued so far can be taken ns an Index of the trends and tastes of plant breeders. Red seems to be the favorite color as eleven of the patented roses are red and four are yellow. Awards Made Posthumously. Luther Burbank, the famous plant breeder, although dead, has received six plant patents through his execu trix. Elizabeth Burbank of Santa Rosa, Calif. Burbank has to his credit to day more plant patents than any other plant breeder. On April 5 of this year four patents were issued to him cover ing, respectively, a new red freestone plum, a beautiful pure golden free stone plum, a large beautifully colored variety of deep carmine plum, and a yellow freestone peach. On May 10, 1932, he received another patent for a red-skinned, golden-fleshed plum, very large In size. His sixth patent, issued last July 19, was for a chrome yelow. Apricot-like flavored plum. Thirteen patents have been granted for new varieties of fruits, including peaches, cherries, strawberries and dewberries. Practically all the patents contain beautifully colored realistic drawings Illustrating the patented fruit or flower. . Russian Workers to Be Put Back in Uniforms Moscow.—Local authorities have de cided to put postmen, telegraph deliv- erv neoole. and concierges i-i V / See Our of Into uni- forms again. It is believed to be 6 first’ step towards uniforming other types of employees. Uniforms, except for policemen and firemen, were abolished soon after the revolution, as a measure for avoiding the class distinctions of employment. Their gradual revival thus has a_ cer tain social Interest. In the pre-revolutionary Jimes Rus- lita was perhaps the world’s most uni- Christmas Groceries | Where You Can Save Money on Every Purchase formed country. Practically every pro fession, even clerks in government of fices, had their prescribed apparel. In the reaction against this system the bolshevik regime abolished uni forms wherever possible. The special types of hats and insignia distinguish ing, engineers survived for many years, hut finally also were abandoned. To day railway employees, street car con ductors, and motormen and other workers usually uniformed in other countries have no distinctive clothes. The decision to put uniforms on let ter carriers, telegram carriers, and janitors therefore marks the begin ning of what may be a new policy In this connection. In justification it Is ^ peiftted-out that the absence of unl- ^ forms gives thieves and other crimi nal elements a chance to enter strange houses under the pretense of deliver- Ing letters. f T Y T T t T T f T x f ❖ f t T f t £- I X 9 t A i- GREETING CARDS x T j T x X X* T i T j f T ?
