fendant in the negotiations for the sale 

 that the seed would be of the "usual 

 first-class germinating quality that we 

 have furnished in the past," the letter- 

 head contained this statement: "Guar- 

 anty: While we try to procure the best 

 seed on the market, we give no guar- 

 anty, either expressed or implied. Sam- 

 ples will always be furnished when ap- 

 plied for. If the seeds are not ac- 

 cepted on these terms, we must be noti- 

 fied at once. If they are kept it will 

 be taken as proof that they are satis- 

 factory." 



On receipt of the shipment, the de- 

 fendant placed the seeds in a creek, 

 where they soaked for about a week, 

 after which they were placed in an ice- 

 pack for several weeks. Before the 

 plaintiff made the shipment, the seeds 

 were given the usual test to determine 

 their character, and this test showed 

 that they were good and would ger- 

 minate. On the other hand, the only 

 evidence offered by defendant to show 

 that the seeds were not good was the 

 fact that they were planted in good 

 soil in the usual manner, but did not 

 grow. 



An expert testified that two days at 

 the longest was the time required for 

 wetting seeds, and that if they are 

 placed in an ice-pack, which is per- 

 mitted to melt, the seeds will heat and 

 destroy their germinating quality. Un- 

 der these circumstances, the Supreme 

 court said: 



'•^We think it is apparent from these 

 facts that there were at least two causes 

 for the destruction of the germinating 

 quality of the seeds after they were 

 received by the defendant. If the seeds 

 were left too long in water, they would 

 germinate, and ice would then destroy 

 the germination; and, secondly, if they 

 were properly placed upon the ice, and 

 the ice was permitted to melt, the seeds 

 would heat, and the heat would destroy 

 the germinating quality. Both of these 

 conditions are present in this case. 



"Assuming, without deciding, that 

 there was an express warranty of the 

 quality of the seeds, the testimony is 

 not disputed that the usual test was 

 applied to the seeds by the plaintiff 

 to determine the germinating quality 

 of the seeds, and the test showed the
