The Florists' Review 



Mapch 15. 1917. 



ing a mortgage on the prospective crop 

 as security. It appears that the mer- 

 chant refused to extend the agreed 

 credit and that shortage of cash re- 

 quired the farmer to discharge his em- 

 ployees and use his funds to buy pro- 

 visions elsewhere, resulting in loss of 

 use of part of the land rented by the 

 farmer. If, as the court finds in this 

 case, the merchant was bound to fore- 

 see that his breach of contract would 

 have such remote consequences, within 

 the rule of law that a breach of contract 

 renders one liable for all damages which 

 were within the contemplation of the 

 parties, there seems to be no escape from 

 a conclusion that a retail seedsman who 

 agrees to furnish seed for a crop — seed 

 wliich the customer is unable to obtain 

 elsewhere — renders himself liable for 

 loss of a crop directly occasioned by his 

 refusal to make the agreed delivery. 



S. 



"FEOM ANY OTHEB SOUBCE." 



When a man gets a delivery of forty 



per cent on his contract order and then 



finds the grower selling the same variety 



on the spot market for two or three 



times contract price he sometimes jumps 



to a wrong conclusion. For this reason a 



British wholesale grower features the 



following in his list: 



Any orders accepted by us for seeds to be grown 

 on contract are subject to the foUowinj contract 

 conditions; that is to say: 



(a) We shall plant or cause to be planted (sub- 

 ject to hindrance from weather and other circum- 

 stances, in which case earliest possible notifica- 

 tion would be made), areas sufficient to provide 

 under ordinary crop conditions for such orders, 

 after allowing for the stock seed planted. 



(b) The crop, after replacing the stock seed, 

 will be applied in carrying out the orders, if the 

 crop is sufficient, in full; if insufficient, in pro- 

 portion to the amounts of the orders. 



(c) The purchasers look to the particular crop 

 of this particular area or acreage alone, and in 

 the case of insufflclency of the crop for any rea- 

 son, we shall not be liable to carry out any order 

 FROM ANY OTHER SOURCE. 



Thus the grower might make a forty 

 per cent delivery on contract and from 

 an acreage planted for his own account 

 he might have forty or some other per- 

 centage of a crop that he would be mor- 

 ally as well as legally free to sell to any- 

 one who would pay his price. 



IT'S A PUZZLE TO CANNEBS. 



According to a canning trade's au- 

 thority, it takes something more than 

 a good guesser to anticipate the coming 

 season, for some, of the conditions are 

 such that logical 'processes of reasoning 

 go astray as often as they may go 

 straight. 



Judging from the fact that canned 

 tomatoes are worth as spots virtually 

 double what they were when they came 

 in last September, it would seem as 

 though packers would be safe in con- 

 tracting for about all the acreage they 

 can get this year and that, considering 

 the prices paid last year during the 

 packing season, farmers would be will- 

 ing to book up all the acreage the can- 

 ners will sign for. 



As a matter of fact, however, reports 

 indicate a state of great uncertainty in 

 the growing country, with farmers un- 

 willing to contract for acreage except 

 at phenomenal prices and canners less 

 unwilling than unable to secure plant- 

 ings against the large pack they feel 

 sure will be in demand. One Maryland 

 observer declares that not five per cent 

 of the necessary acreage has as yet been 

 contracted for, because the farmers are 

 crazy to raise potatoes, cabbages and 

 such crops as have brought the sensa-
