There is little prospect of low prices 

 for European nursery products next sea- 

 son; the labor shortage will be an in- 

 creasingly important factor. 



JACKSON & PEBKINS OFFICEBS. 



A meeting of the directors of Jackson 

 & Perkins Co. was held last week, fol- 

 lowing the return of the president, C. H. 

 Perkins, from California. The resigna- 

 tion of John Watson as director and 

 secretary, which had been tendered 

 September' 23, was duly accepted and 

 regret was expressed by the other di- 

 rectors over the termination of his con- 

 nection with the company's affairs. 

 George C. Perkins was elected to the 

 vacant secretaryship. He will fill both 

 that "office and the one of treasurer, 

 which he already held, and will resume 

 the more active participation in the 

 management which he partly re- 

 linquished some years ago because of 

 being at that time in ill health. 



Chas. H. Perkins II, a nephew of 

 the president, was made a director and 

 was also elected vice-president. He is 

 well known to the trade, having been 

 for a number of years the company's 

 traveling representative. During the 

 growing season he also has a general 

 supervision of the various nursery 

 farms. His election as a director and 

 officer is felt by the other directors to 

 be a well deserved recognition of his 

 Bervices. 



Paul Fortmiller, who has been Mr. 

 Watson's chief assistant for the last 

 four years, was promoted to the posi- 

 tion of office manager and will have 

 charge of a considerable part of the 

 correspondence. 



The outdoor organization remains un- 

 changed, and the directors feel the 

 company is to be particularly congratu- 

 lated on having built up and main- 

 tained a corps of such loyal and effi- 

 cient employees. The heads of the green- 

 house department and of the shipping 

 department have each worked for the 

 company over twenty-five years; in 

 fact, both of them grew up with Jack- 

 son & Perkins at Newark, N. Y., and 

 neither man ever worked anywhere else. 



DEIilVEBIES UNDER CONTRACTS. 



A nurseryman who makes a contract 

 to deliver a certain quantity of trees 

 cannot avoid liability in damages for 

 ^ failing to live up to the contract on the 

 ground that he expected to obtain the 

 necessary stock elsewhere, but was un- 

 able to do so, unless he has protected 

 himself against that contingency by 

 provision in the contract. This is ac-

ifornia Supreme court. (Pearson vs. 

 McKinney, 117 Pacific Eeporter 918.) 

 Othdr important phases applicable to 

 sales of nursery stock were involved 

 in the case. 



The contract between the parties pro- 

 vided for a sale of 25,000 budded 

 orange trees of standard size, with 

 option of the buyer to purchase when 

 the stock should be 1 year old from 

 the bud, at 30 cents per tree; or at the 

 age of 2 years, at 35 cents per tree; 

 or at 3 years, at 40 cents per tree. 

 Standard trees of the first two ages 

 were fixed at five-eighths and three- 

 fourths of an inch, respectively. The 

 buyer was required to give notice one 

 month before budding as to the vari- 

 eties he would select. Under these 

 terms, the Supreme court held that 

 there was no implied warranty on the 

 part of the seller that the trees would 

 attain the standard size at any particu- 

 lar time, and that the seller was en- 

 titled to a reasonable time to procure 

 budding. 



The provision giving the buyer an 

 option to take the trees at one or two 

 years from the bud, of a standard size, 

 was held not to entitle the buyer to 

 demand them at that exact age. The 

 seller was entitled to make delivery 

 within a reasonable time after demand.

so that if the number of trees demand- 

 ed had not grown to the standard size 

 when demand was made, without the 

 seller's fault, the buyer would have 

 to wait until they attained that size, 

 although the trees were more than 1 

 or 2 years old from the bud when de- 

 livered. Subject to such rule, the 

 buyer could make successive demands 

 for reasonable quantities less than the 

 25,000. 



It was further decided that the pro- 

 vision in the contract that the buyer 

 should give notice as to the varieties 

 of trees he desired, did not preclude 

 him from selecting a reasonable num- 

 ber of varieties of those trees which 

 could be obtained by the seller with 

 reasonable effort,
