The seed trade's "Big Monday" may 

 not have fallen in March this year. 



Growers on the coast report that 

 Asparagus plumosus seed has been a poor 

 crop in California this season. 



It is said the condition of the treaty 

 most promptly completed by the Germans 

 has been that requiring that seeds be sup- 

 plied to the devastated areas of France. 



The cabbage plants for seed production 

 on Long Island were buried in trenches 

 and well prepared for the winter before 

 hard freezing occurred and although the 

 winter has been a severe one the plants 

 are believed to be in good condition. 

 March is the most critical time in that 

 section, however, and it is obviously im- 

 possible for growers to estimate the final 

 damage, if any, until after this period has 

 passed and the plants are removed from 

 the trenches. 



BUIJB FIBM LOSES SXnT. 



; . Judge Shenk, of the Superior court of 

 •Los Angeles county, has decided the 

 case brought by E. E. Hoyt, assignee 

 of tlie claim of Van Zonneveld Bros. & 

 Philippe, against S. Murata & Co., in 

 favor of defendant. The defendant was 

 represented by F. L. Stobbs and Hyman 

 Schwartz. 



The case was brought to record the 

 amount alleged to be due upon the ship- 

 ment of bulbs ordered by the defendant 

 from the plaintiffs December 30, 1916, 

 and other orders subsequent to that 

 date. 



The order was given upon condition 

 that the shipments be specially boxed 

 and marked. When they arrived at Los 

 Angeles, they were not marked as per 

 the order; neither were they insured in 

 conformity with the orders given, as is 

 customary in such cases. 



The goods arrived in Los Angeles 

 in a spoiled condition and S. Mnrata 

 & Co. refused to accept the shipment 

 on that account and for the other rea- 

 sons given. 



The following is a copy of the con- 

 clusion handed down by Judge Shenk: 



"That the merchandise was not de- 

 livered to the defendant; that the mer- 

 chandise was not marked in accordance 

 with the instructions of the defendant; 

 that the merchandise was not insured 

 as is customary and in accordance with 

 the agreement between plaintiff's as- 

 signor and the defendant; that the title 

 to the merchandise remained in the 

 plaintiff's assignor because the same 

 was shipped to the plaintiff's agent and 

 not to the defendant; that the defen- 

 dant was not liable or indebted there- 

 for unless he accepted the merchandise. 



"That the plaintiff take nothing by 

 the said cause of action and the de- 

 fendant is entitled to have judgment in 

 his favor for costs. * '
