delivered was the variety asked for. 

 In the Justice court plaintiff referred 

 only to the Mammoth corn. In the 

 course of that trial it developed that 

 there was an early and a late Mam- 

 moth. Our defense on that point was 

 that he had not specified whether he 

 wanted early or late Mammoth, and that 

 we had delivered Mammoth. 



"In the Circuit court, to which the 

 case was appealed, plaintiff had mended 

 on his evidence somewhat. Part of the 

 time in his testimony he said he asked 

 for Mammoth corn, making no distinc- 

 tion. At other times he testified that 

 he asked for Late Mammoth. Defend- 

 ant relied particularly upon the custom 

 and usage of seedsmen in selling seeds 

 without warranty, and the court al- 

 lowed the defendant to show custom 

 and usage of seedsmen in this city and 

 throughout the country to sell seeds 

 with the non-warranty clause. Doubt- 

 less it was upon that evidence that the 

 jury found for the defendant in the Cir- 

 cuit court. 



"The evidence was that plaintiff had 

 plowed up an old strawberry bed 

 June 2.3, 1913, after the strawberry 

 crop had failed on account of drought. 

 It was planted to corn June 24. There 

 was about four acres of it, and the 

 amount of damages claimed was $39.25. 

 It was a small amount to litigate over, 

 but the principle from the seedsman's 

 standpoint was important. Believing 

 the truth to be that the failure of the 

 ■crop was to be attributed to the ex- 

 cessively hot wisather with the long pe- 

 riod of drought, coupled with the fact 

 that the ground was broken late and 

 never became packed suflfioiently for 

 the roots of the corn to become 

 sufficiently imbedded in the soil, we 

 showed the government weather re- 

 ports, the temperature and precipita- 

 tion for each day from May 1 to Sep- 

 tember 1, 1913."
