commercialising new varieties
I've one, maybe two, plants that I reckon are worth marketing. Any
recommendations as to whom I should contact. (I've found PlantNet UK and ex Blooms.) -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

According to the advertisements from the above named organisations yes, but the deal is that they do the work, and pay you a royalty. (But, I don't as yet know what the terms are.) I've started a cross-breeding program, for botanical research as much as for the production of varieties of horticultural merit, so I'm likely to have more material than the average private individual (but maybe not as much as the chap half a mile away who's been breeding Irises for years). But, I don't think it's worth the effort to try to market direct to customers (or garden centres). Successful varieties sell tens of thousands of plants. It doesn't take much of a royalty on that number to generate a reasonable supplement to one's income - at least enough to pay the expenses of the web site and research program. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley http://www.malvaceae.info |

A Lavatera x clementii hybrid (seed parent 'Candy Floss', but plant is effectively, IMHO, an improved 'Eyecatcher'). A hybrid Malva, but I'm not sure whether it can be propagated - it doesn't seem to be very keen to mature fruits, and as the pollen parent is annual, and the seed parent not reliably perennial, I'm not yet sure whether it behaves as an annual or a perennial, or whether it can be vegetatively propagated. Some firms are better than other for certain kinds of plants -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Stewart I've emailed you some information on a company that specialises in this sort of thing. But it's worth pointing out to you and the group that any new plant must not have been sold previously or even given away to anyone else. A good and interesting new variety of a popular plant can be quite an earner for its breeder but potential patent (Plant Breeder's Rights) must be carefully protected before it's registered. -- Sacha www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon (remove the weeds to email me) |

I tried to contact you by email, but my message seems to be falling foul of spam-filtering (not the 'weeds' spam-trap) at your end. The reply-to address I use on UseNet works (don't remove the dollar signs), or alternatively use my forename. Removing the dollar signs gives a spam- trapped address. BTW, thanks. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
