know how to do otherwise under all the 

 circumstances. 



But it's rough on the exceptional 

 grower who delivered at the contract 

 prices last year. 



PEACOCK ENLABGING FAST. 



So rapidly is business increasing at 

 the Everette B. Peacock Co., Chicago, 

 that preparations are made for exten- 

 sive additions to the various depart- 

 ments. One entirely new move is the 

 opening of a seed store for market gar- 

 deners at the Haymarket. Henry W. 

 Bruns, for some years located at the 

 Haymarket and well known to most of 

 the market gardeners, will liave charge 

 of the new store. 



At Norwood Park, the company this 

 month will begin building a warehouse 

 to take care of their seed stocks, which 

 are estimated to be five times larger 

 than last season's. 



For the increasing mail order and 

 packet business, a brick building, giv- 

 ing 3,000 square feet of floor space, 

 will go up at the company's branch 

 store, at Sunnyside and Western ave- 

 nues. 



Onion sets have suffered considerably 

 in Chicago territory. The continuous 

 rainy weather in April and early May 

 washed out a good deal of the seed 

 sowed for sets, and many growers have 

 resowed large acreages. 



At the Peacock farms are some fine 

 stands of sets, which give every as- 

 surance of a big crop. In response to 

 an inquiry why the rain had done no 

 damage at his farms, Mr. Peacock said, 

 "Perfect drainage is a great thing, 

 vou know. ' ' 



ANOTHEK SEED WARRANTY CASE. 



Tags Not Necessary. 



That a seedsman may have failed to 

 comply with a statute of his state. re- 

 lating to the tagging of sacks contain- 

 ing seeds, is of no weight against him 

 in an action brought by a customer to 

 recover damages on an alleged oral 

 warranty of a quantity of seed sold by 

 him, holds the South Dakota Supreme 

 court in the recent case of Amacher vs. 

 Sours, 171 Northwestern Reporter, 329. 



The plaintiff sued to recover damages, 

 alleged to have been suffered because 

 of a breach of warranty as to the kind 

 and purity of certain seed bought of the 

 defendant. The defendant denied war- 

 ranting the seed, asserted that he mere- 

 ly acted as an agent for the plaintiff 

 in obtaining the seed from a seed house, 

 and that the quantity delivered con- 

 tained a tag bearing an express dis- 

 claimer of warranty. 



Judge in Error. 



The trial court awarded a judgment 

 in favor of the plaintiff, but the Su- 

 preme court has reversed it on appeal, 

 holding that, although it was permis- 

 sible for the plaintiff to show breach of 

 an oral warranty, as relied upon, and to 

 recover damages for any such breach, 

 the trial judge erred in permitting the 

 jury to consider the effect of the South 

 Dakota statute relating to the tagging 

 of seeds. On this point the higher court 

 said: 



"The court, in its instructions, in- 

 jected into this case something that, to 

 our minds, was entirely foreign to same, 

 and not warranted either by the plead- 

 ings or evidence. Chapter 320, Laws
