uted to the failure of the seed to ger- 

 minate and grow. We are of the 

 opinion, therefore, that the plaintiff 

 failed to sufficiently establish its al- 

 leged excuse for the failure of its seed 

 to measure up to the requirements of its 

 warranty. ' ' 



Blotter Test Barred. 



On the question of proof of blotter 

 test, the District Court of Appeals 

 added, "The plaintiff's next contention 

 is that the trial court was in error , in 

 excluding certain testimony offered by 

 the plaintiff with respect to certain 

 tests made on portions of the particular 

 vetch seed sold by it to the defendants 

 and later returned to it. The tests to 

 which the plaintiff's witnesses would 

 have testified were made by taking 100 

 grains of the seed and, after placing 

 them between moistened blotters, sub- 

 jecting them to a temperature of 98 

 degrees for a specified length of time. 

 The plaintiff offered to show that when 

 the seed was subjected to this form of 

 test a large proportion of its grains 

 germinated. It will be apparent, how- 

 ever, that such a test as this would be 

 one made under different conditions from 

 those surrounding the planting and 

 growth of the seed in an open orchard 

 and under conditions as to soil, tempera- 

 ture and location entirely different from 

 those under which the, so to speak, 

 laboratory test proffered by the plain- 

 tiff was made. Trial courts are invested 

 with a large discretion in the matter 

 of the admission of evidence of this 

 character and we are unable to say that 

 the trial court in the instant case 

 abused its discretion in its refusal to ad- 

 mit such testimony." S.
