zling me. I recently purchased two 

 small greenhouse.s and was given five 

 years in which to pay for them, making 

 yearly payments. A contract was drawn 

 up before a notary public and jiroperly 

 signed by both parties. The party who 

 sold the place reserved a personal 

 property, the hotbed sashes (about fifty) 

 and flower pots, but nothing was men- 

 tioned about these in the contra(?t. Now 

 this party is taking a good many potted 

 plants and wants about 100 feet of hose, 

 (a) Isn't this hose considered as part of 

 the watering apparatus and can I keep 

 him from taking it? (b) Can I stop him 

 from taking the potted plants, or are 

 these considered as personal property? 

 Any light that you can give me will be 

 appreciated. T. W. B. — la. 



The Review's attoniev answers both 



questions in the negative. The oral 

 reservation is of no effect. The written 

 contract on which the parties have 

 agreed is regarded as embodying their 

 final agreement. The result is the same, 

 however, since ])ersonal projjcrty will 

 not pass unless covered by the descrip- 

 tion used. 



(a) Ordinarily lios<' is personal proj)- 

 erty. Our l)uyor can not stop the seller 

 from taking it unless exceptional facts 

 are involved, sucn as its being per- 

 manently fastened. 



(b) It is clear that the seller can re- 

 tain the potted plants if they are stand- 

 ing on the ground or on benches. It is 

 not so clear if they are sunk in the 

 ground or in soil on benches which are 

 ])ermanently attached to the ground or 

 buildings. In tho latter case there is a 

 close analogy, as far as the purpose of 



tiie annexor is concerned, to nursery 

 trees which are held under Iowa law to 

 j)ass to the purchaser as part of the real 

 estate. There is the same intent to 

 transplant in both cases, but the pres- 

 ence of the pots alters the character of 

 the physical annexation to the soil and 

 furnishes the ground for holding that 

 the purchaser of a greenhouse gets no 

 right to ordinary potted plants unless 

 the contract expressly covers them. 



Other highly technical questions 

 might arise on contracts such as the one 

 here in question and the saving effected 

 by drawing the contract up "before a 

 notary public" instead of having it 

 drawn up by a lawyer is poor economy.

 the trade here is Alexander Mathes, who 

 has launched a retail business.
