I just don't understand why a hybridizer and seller would NOT name one that he says he is naming and registering? I don't get that.
Is he calling a bunch of seedlings by the same name showing that he has that name reserved, but is not following through with his registration of any seedlings?
That would surely be pretty sneaky. Let's say he "reserves" a name on the AHS cultivar registration for $10 that will hold that name for 3 years. So for $10, John Benz can call ANY seedling as one that he will be registering under that reserved name. No details of the seedling are given for a reserve name, so that name can be used for an infinite amount of seedlings. He can sell numerous seedlings with the false premise that he is going to be registering them and tell any buyer that they will get the seedling cheaper now because it hasn't been registered yet? So folks, that is apparently one way to cheat a buyer?
