THE NURSERY LAW PRONOUNCED UNCONSTITU 



TIONAL. 



IT IS NOT APPROVED BY JUDGE SANBOKX. 



"The Minnesota .statute relating to iiur.sery stock received a severe 

 blow when Judge Sanborn, sitting in the United States circuit court, 

 heard the application for a writ of habeas corpus made by C. H. 

 Schleichter. The appellant was committed to jail under the nursery 

 law in Freeborn count}'. The court held that the law in question 

 imposes restrictions upon the free sale of the product of another 

 state and, therefore, is in opposition to the constitution. It is im-

 etc., the product of other states, and, therefore, a violation of the con- 

 stitution The trees grown in Illinois are entitled to sale on the 

 same grounds and as freely as those grown in Minnesota. This law 

 does not give to citizens of other states the same privileges given to 

 the dealers of the same article in the state of Minnesota." 



COMMENT ON THE ABOVE. 

 The law which for the past ten years has acted as a check upon 

 fraud in the sale of nursery stock through agents, has lately passed 

 under the ruling of the United States court and been declared un- 

 constitutional and void. Those of us who are acquainted with the 

 needs of our state and with the Varieties sent out by Eastern and 

 Southern nurseries, know that for the proper protection of our hor-
