fully done. The owner brought suit 

 for damages. The defense was that 

 when the silk was sent back to the 

 owner, after being dyed, it was accom- 

 panied by a bill on which was printed: 

 "All claims for damages or deficiency 

 must be made within three days from 

 date, otherwise not allowed." It was 

 also claimed that the owner of the 

 silk saw this on the bill, and It was 

 argued that by accepting the silk and 

 the bill, he was bound by the notice. 

 The court made short work of the de- 

 fense. It held that there was nothing 

 to it. This was the core of the de- 

 cision: — 



Upon a bailment of goods for work 

 and labor upon them, the contract be- 

 tween the parties arises immediately 

 upon the delivery of the goods to the 

 bailee. The contract is that the work 

 shall be performed with reasonable 

 skill and care, and that the work be- 

 ing completed they shall be returned 

 to the owner. The bailee cannot pre- 

 scribe terms on which he will re- 

 turn them, and an agreement of bailee 

 that he will make a claim for damages 

 within certain time lacks a considera- 

 tion, for bailee was bound to return 

 them unconditionally. 



In still another case a dry goods 

 Jobber sold through a traveling sales- 

 man a quantity of goods at certain 

 prices and on certain terms contained 

 on written memo signed by the sales- 

 man. The goods were shipped and 

 with them an invoice printed thus: 

 "All bills become due when parties 

 suspend payment, assign or sell out.

All goods dated ahead are merely con- 

 signed and subject to replevin until 

 said dating has expired. Retention of 

 the goods will be considered accept- 

 ance of all the terms herein." 



The customer received and held 

 the goods without objection, and prior 

 to the expiration of the dating he as- 

 signed for the benefit of creditors. 

 When the jobber stepped in and tried 

 to seize the goods on the ground that 

 the provision on the invoice was part 

 of the contract, the court held that the 

 notice was not binding on the buyer, 

 as the principal had no right to modi- 

 fy the terms of agreement made with 

 the salesman. That agreement fixed 

 the rights and liabilities of both par- 

 ties and could not be changed by any 

 notice one might give the other later. 



Any buyer can legally stand on 

 the terms of the order, and can suc- 

 cessfully refuse to be bound by any 

 restrictions sought to be introduced 

 in the deal afterward.

fruit to take the place of those already 

 killed, says Prof. Holllster, so plan a 

 program which will include the prun- 

 ing, spraying and cultivation of these 

 trees. The natural work to take place 

 at the present time is the pruning of 

 these trees. 



It hardly pays to spray an old, un- 

 pruned tree for the simple reason that 

 too much material is wasted on bran- 

 ches and limbs that should have been 

 removed. Have a sharp saw and go 

 after this work at once. 



The March meeting of the Florists' 

 Club of Washington, D. C, promises 

 some fun. The date is March 4 and 

 that is the florists election night. 

 There are several candidates for each 

 position. 



PRUNING FRUIT TREES 

 All fruit trees whether apple, pear, 

 peach, or cherry, should be given the 

 best of care during the next two or 

 three years, says Prof. S. F. Hollis- 

 ter, of the Department of Pomology 

 at Connecticut Agricultural College at 

 Storrs. 



A great many fruit trees have been 

 killed throughout New England, and 

 other states, and no orchards which 

 have been planted can produce the
