GEORGIA FRUIT TREE BILL 



There has just been filed in the 

 Georgia Legislature a bill cS. 214) to 

 establish the measure of damages in 

 those cases where fruit trees are not 

 true to name. 



The purchaser may collect $3.00 per 

 tree for each year between the date of 

 purchase and the first day of Novem- 

 ber of the year in which such trees 

 shall have borne fruit disclosing the 

 variety thereof. 



It is apparent that no Georgia 

 nurseryman could sell any fruit trees 

 if this bill were enacted. A thousand 

 trees taking seven years to bear fruit 

 would involve damages payable by the 

 nurseryman of $21,000. Such measure 

 of damages is absurd, and does not, in 

 any event, represent the actual dam- 

 ages, as a review of cases decided by 

 the Courts will show. 



This bill, if enacted, would render 

 the more or less usual disclaimer of 

 warranty clause employed by Ameri- 

 can Nurserymen of no avail.
