seller would not consider settlement and 

 brought suit for the full amount, $230. 

 Attorney Bebb filed a jury demand in 

 the Municipal court at Chicago, with 

 the result that the matter was delayed 

 long enough for both parties to cool off, 

 and February 10 an agreed judgment for 

 $165 was entered without trial.

OLD EMPLOYEE HONORED. 



William E. Bougy, assistant treasurer 

 of the W. Atlee Burpee Co., Philadel- 

 phia, Pa., was the guest of honor at a 

 dinner given at the Union League, that 

 city, February 6, by David Burpee, pres- 

 ident, and W. Atlee Burpee, Jr., of the 

 company. The affair was in apprecia- 

 tion of Mr. Bougy 's thirty-five years' 

 service with the concern. 



The assistant treasurer began with the 

 Burpee concern as an office boy. So 

 small was the business when he started 

 to work for the company that no books 

 were kept. Mr. Bougy opened the first 

 set of books and has had charge of the 

 accounting department ever since. 



It was brought out at the dinner that 

 the warm weather has had an effect 

 upon the buyers, causing them to order 

 considerably more numerously than 

 usual for this time of the year. The 

 Burpee company has received four times 

 the normal number of orders to Feb- 

 ruary 6. 



ANOTHER IMPLIED WARRANTY. 



Disclaimer Not Employed. 



A sale of seed by description as to 

 variety carries an implied warranty 

 by the seller that the seed will prove 

 to be true to name, where the buyer 

 has no opportunity for inspecting before 

 buying or where the identity of the 

 seed cannot be determined by an ordi- 

 nary examination. And where seed 

 was sold as being of a specified variety, 

 but failed to prove so, the buyers were 

 entitled to recover damages measured 

 by the excess of the value of the crop 

 which would have been grown from the 

 seed bargained for above the value of 

 the crop actually grown. 



These points were decided by the 

 Arkansas Supreme court the other day 

 in the case of Price & Neil vs. Kefauver,
