WHAT DO BUYERS WANT? 



In its 1916 spring catalogue the Elm 

 City Nursery Co., New Haven, Conn., 

 has departed somewhat from the usual 

 style of nursery catalogues. Aside from 

 a few pages devoted to general instruc- 

 tions and special lists, the catalogue 

 is an out-and-out price list of popular 

 common names, sizes and prices, with- 

 out illustrations. 



"This catalogue," says President 

 Ernest F. Coe, ' ' is intended largely for 

 those who know what they desire to 

 purchase and are seeking information 

 as to varieties, sizes, prices, etc., of 

 what we have for sale, arranged in 

 compact and convenient form for ref- 

 erence. 



"The question is, do any number of 

 purchasers of nursery stock who place 

 substantial orders depend to any con- 

 siderable extent on elaborate catalogue 

 descriptions and illustrations of stand- 

 ard stock when placing their orders? 

 Are they not more generally guided by 

 what they have actually seen, have read 

 about in current magazines and books, 

 or is recommended by friends?" 



DAMAGES FOE WEONG VARIETY. 



When it appears that a nurseryman 

 has delivered fruit trees of a different 

 variety from that ordered by a cus- 

 tomer, and that the variance was not 

 discovered until after the trees were 

 planted and commenced to bear fruit, 

 the damages recoverable by the buyer 

 are to be measured by the difference 

 between the value the orchard would 

 have possessed had the trees been of 

 the variety represented and the actual 

 value of the orchard at the time the 

 variance in variety was discovered. 



This rule was laid down the other 

 day by the appellate division of the 

 New York Supreme court (157 New 

 York Supplement 150). The buyer, a 

 farmer, desiring to set out young trees

for an orchard, purchased from a 

 grower of nursery stock a quantity of 

 young apple trees represented to be 

 Baldwins. Whether they were of that 

 variety or not could not be discovered 

 by the buyer upon inspection of the 

 trees delivered, but only when they 

 began to bear fruit, so the court finds. 

 Four years after the trees were set 

 out it was discovered, when they began 

 to bear fruit, that they were not Bald-

 brought suit to recover damages. At 

 the trial he sought to prove as the 

 proper measure of his damages the 

 diflference between the value of his 

 orchard as it was at the time he dis- 

 covered that the trees were not Bald-
