Meaning of the Agreement. 



"We are of the opinion that the af- 

 firmative defense pleaded is of no value 

 to the defendant, unless it appears from 

 the evidence that there was a substan- 

 tial performance of the contract on his 

 part; the clause permitting replace- 

 ments or the refunding of the money 

 being intended merely to provide for 

 incidental errors in the delivery of the 

 trees and not an entire failure to per- 

 form the conditions of the contract. ' ' 



The court finds, however, that there 

 was insufficient evidence to sustain 

 plaintiff's claim that there was a ma- 

 terial breach of the contract by de- 

 fendant, and says on this point: 



"Until the plaintiff has established 

 that the orchard is not made up sub- 

 stantially of the three varieties which 

 he says he purchased from the defend- 

 ant, he has failed to make out the breach 

 of the contract which he has alleged, 

 and he has no right to any damages. 

 The presumption must be that the de- 

 fendant has delivered the goods con- 

 tracted to be delivered, and evidence 

 that out of a group of twenty-five trees, 

 in an orchard of several hundred, there 

 are no trees of two of the varieties is 

 not meeting the burden of proof; is 

 not furnishing any proof whatever of a 

 violation of the contract." S.

 states that ' ' during the month of April 

 two nests of the brown-tail moth and 

 three egg masses of the European tus- 

 sock moth were detected on French 

 stock. One egg mass of the latter was 

 also collected on stock coming from Hol- 

 land. As will be seen from the attached 

 list, many pests of greater or less im- 

 portance have been detected by various 

 inspectors during the last month." 



The attached list shows that the pests 

 intercepted were a few more than last 

 month. Orchids from the Philippines

and citrus stock from Brazil were, how- 

 ever, responsible for so large a number 

 that the countries at the top of the list 

 last month, aside from Holland, have 

 far fewer checked up against them this 

 time. Boxwood from Holland carried a 

 large number of pests, most of them 

 oyster-shell scale. The other infesta- 

 tions were widely various in character 

 of insects and stock.
