PLANTS AS CHATTELS. 



That a plant is to be regarded as a 

 chattel, although growing in the 

 ground, and not as a part of the real 

 estate, follows as a necessary conclu- 

 sion from the decision of the Arkansas 

 Supreme Court to the effect that straw- 

 berry plants growing on land are sub- 

 ject to replevin at the suit of a person 

 who is the owner of them and entitled 

 to possession as against another per- 

 son in whose custody they may be. 

 (Cannon vs. Mathews, 87 Southwestern 

 Eeporter 428.) It will also be remem- 

 bered that an Ohio court has decided 

 that a florist's or nurseryman's grow- 

 ing stock is subject to a personal prop- 

 erty tax. 



An interesting result of this view 

 would seem to be that plants or nurs- 

 ery stock may be sold under contracts 

 reserving title in the seller until pay- 

 ment of the purchase price. That this 

 may be done does not appear to have 

 been directly decided by the courts, 

 but, if the plant is to be declared to 

 be a chattel for the purpose of taxa- 

 tion or replevin, it must be held to be 

 personalty for purposes in general, and 

 as such to be as much a subject of 

 conditional sale as a sewing machine 

 or a piece of furniture. S.

The Market. 



As far as can be seen. Memorial day 

 trade was all that could be asked for. 

 Everybody seemed to be busy and ap- 

 pears to be well satisfied. This year an 

 unusual quantity of potted stock was 

 sold for cemetery use and the last two 

 days business was heavy on cut flowers. 

 A large quantity of galax, magnolia 

 and metal wreaths was sold. Wreaths 

 with sprays of wax flowers attached did 

 not seem to sell fast; the majority of 

 people here are more pleased with the 

 natural flowers, which, of course, are 

 more artistic and graceful. The cut 

 flower supply was quite heavy and good 

 quality stock arrived with each ship- 

 ment. A particularly large supply of 

 roses was on hand, especially on Friday, 

 but, according to all reports, the market 

 was fairly well cleaned. Sunburst is 

 making rapid strides and is about the 

 most popular rose here. Cardinal, 

 Milady and Eichmond all sell well and 

 they have been unusually good during 

 the last week. American Beauties have 

 been of good color and sold well at the 

 usual prices. White Killarney and Kil- 

 larney have been abundant. White car- 

 nations are fairly good, but Enchant- 

 ress is losing out in color. Some fine 

 Delights are on the market and these 

 always sell well. Sweet peas are in 

 large supply and sell fast. The last 

 week has brought them into extra fine 

 condition. Baby gladioli are having 

 a good call, and retail at about $1 per 

 dozen. A generous supply of outdoor 

 valley reaches us, which has to be sold 

 at 25 cents per dozen retail to clear. 

 White, pink and red peonies reached us 

 just in time for Memorial day, and a 

 large quantity was disposed of. Purple 

 and white iris also sold fairly well. 

 Prices for Memorial day were in some 

 cases slightly in advance, but on the 

 whole little change was made. 



Various Notes. 



Schuyler Arnold is visiting his 

 parents at Greece. In a few days he 

 expects to leave for Painesville, O., 



where he will be connected with E. E. 

 Huntington. 



Horace J. Head has been home sick 

 with a series of colds for about nine 

 days, but is now back on the job' feel- 

 ing much better. 



Geo. B. Hart says he has been quite 

 busy the last two weeks, and business 

 seems to be steadily increasing. Mem- 

 bers of the store force have been work- 

 ing late the last few nights. 



We are glad to say Mrs. E. P. Wil- 

 son is steadily improving and is able 

 to get downstairs now. 



The Lord & Burnham Co. is doing a 

 good business here, receiving calls for 

 estimates about every day. 



Most of the florists closed at noon 

 Memorial day, but a good business was 

 done by the two or three who kept 

 open until 6 p. m. Beautiful weather 

 prevailed during the whole holiday and 

 to this we attribute the good business. 



Some of the smaller growers have 

 been bringing in potted geraniums, etc., 

 to the public market each morning and 

 have disposed of their stock quickly.
