HARDY PLANT AND PANSY FARM BARABOO. WIS. 



PYRETHRUM ROSEUM HYBRIDUM 



Mention The Review when you write. 



Heryman 's misrepresentations induced 

 the customer to agree to buy, cannot be 

 defeated by provisions in the written 

 contract that the order is not subject 

 to countermand and that the salesman 

 is not authorized to make vary the 

 terms of the written order. This is the 

 substance of the recent decision of the 

 Kansas Supreme court. In this suit the 

 inirserymen were defeated in an attempt 

 to hold their customer for the contract 

 price of certain seedlings. 



The customer, or defendant, signed 

 iiii order on the nurserymen's printed 

 t'orm for the seedlings. The order con- 

 tained provisions against countermand 

 and against variation of the terms by 

 •iiiv oral statements of the salesman who 

 '""k the order. 



Anything to Get the Order. 



The stock was shipped, but the cus- 



t"iner refused to receive it, and it was 



-"i'l at auction. The nurserymen then

d representations of the salesman that 



t' order might be countermanded any

'^represented the market value of the 



'dlings; the time at which they would 



ature; the quantity of stock the nur- 



lymen had on hand; that the agent 



'^0 misrepresented the nurserymen as 



'^"ing raised all their own stock, and 



at he was planting a half -section of

The nurserymen insisted that, in view 

 I the terms of the written contract, 

 tiose oral misrepresentations made by

 liem. Tn affirming a judgment in the

customer's favor, the Supreme court in- 

 timated that the nurserymen were right 

 in their claim that the customer could 

 not rely upon the salesman 's oral state- 

 ment that the order might be counter- 

 manded before shipment, since the writ- 

 ten contract provided against such 

 countermand and the jury found that 

 the customer had reasonable opportunity 

 to examine the form of contract before 

 signing it. But the court affirmed the 

 judgment because the customer had 

 established fraud on the part of the 

 salesman in misrepresenting the facts 

 above mentioned, concerning the mar- 

 ket value of the stock, the time in which 

 it would mature, etc. 



Fraud Made Contract Void. 



"It is elementary," said the court, 

 "that a contract entered into 

 through the fraud and misrepresenta- 

 tion of one of the parties and relied 

 on by the other, is voidable at the* 

 instance of the party defrauded. * • * 

 However reputable a business firm the 

 nurserymen may be, the jury has found 

 that their agent procured the defend- 

 ant's signature through fraud and mis- 

 representation. ' ' 



The court recognized the well estab- 

 lished rule of law that the terms of 



Plants for Forcing 



Grootendorst's Holland -grown 

 plants are extra good for forcing. 

 Our new French Hydrangeas, as 

 well as the Otaksa, are strong, pot- 

 grown plants. We have some beau- 

 tiful specimens of these varieties, 

 and page 86 of our Trade List gives 

 a full list of them. Our Pink 

 Pearl Rhododendron is one of the 

 finest on the market and is most 

 desirable for forcing. We have 

 plants from 15 to 30 inches high.

 with other courts, tiist this rule does 

 not prevent a party to a contract from
