|HERE are a lot of folks who send for our catalog 

 solely to " see what is new." 

 Not only see, but buy. 



It is something to have earned the reputation we have for 

 each year introducing such a large number of distinctly new 

 or greatly improved things of entire dependableness. 

 Sometimes you Americans accuse us Britishers of being a 

 bit slow. Perhaps we are. But it has its advantages, 

 especially when it comes to the seed business. Going at 

 things slowly gives us time to test surely. 



It's one of the big reasons why Sutton's Seeds are so 

 successful. 



Our catalog is so elaborate and expensive to produce that 

 you will readily appreciate why we make a small charge 

 of 35c for a copy, but this is promptly refunded when 

 your orders amount to $5 or more.

J. 4. 



reasonable endeavors to minimize his 

 damage, it is uniformly decided by the 

 courts that where a contract buyer of 

 goods is able to obtain similar goods 

 elsewhere on the seller's breach, the 

 seller's liability is limited to the excess 

 of what the buyer is required to pay 

 elsewhere above the amount at which 

 the defaulting seller agreed to sell. So, 

 ordinarily, a buyer of seed, being able 

 to purchase the contract quantity else- 

 where, may not hold the seller, who has 

 broken his contract to deliver, for larger 

 damages than the increased cost of ob- 

 taining the necessary seed. 



Wholesaler Also Liable. 



The same principle applies between 

 wholesale dealers and retail seedsmen. 

 That is, it seems that if a wholesale 

 seedsman 's failure to make agreed de- 

 liveries to the retailer deprives the lat- 

 ter of all means of providing seed of 

 the contract kind for his trade, the 

 wholesale merchant is liable for profits 

 shown by the retailer to have been lost, 

 to a reasonable certainty. The liabil- 

 ity is not limited to the difference be- 

 tween the market value of the seed and 

 the lower price at which it was agreed 

 that the wholesaler would sell, the meas- 

 ure of damages applicable if the retail 

 seedsman could purchase substitute 

 goods elsewhere.
