A BONE MEAL SUIT. 



The following is reprinted from the 

 Journal of Elizabeth, N. J,, for May 

 25: 



The Elizabeth Nursery Co., In a suit now 

 on In Circuit Court, before Judge Vail, seeks 

 to recover damages from the Lister Agricultural 

 Works, of Newark, tor the loss of plants 

 which the local concern claims was due to a 

 fertilizer it purdiased of the defendant. 



The nursery company has for the past six 

 jrears made a specialty of rose plants, and four 

 of its thirteen greenhouses are used for that 

 purpose alone. In order to enrich the soil the 

 jiursery company last June directed the Lister 

 Agricultural Chemical Co. to send it a half 

 ton of its grade of fertilizer known as Lister's 

 Pure Raw Bone Meal. When the company 

 ordered the half ton of fertilizer, it had one 

 bag and a half of the same brand on hand 

 left oyer from January previous. This the 

 company made use of in greenhouse No. 6, 

 and on receiving the half ton used five of the 

 six bags in the other three bouses set apart 

 for rose plants. In each of the four bouses 

 were 4,500 rose cuttings, making hi all 18,500 

 plants, and in addition to that there were 

 10.000 3 and 4-inch pot plants. 



George Begg, superintendent of the nursery, 

 claims that a week after the new fertilizer 

 liad been used the leaves of the plants began 

 to turn yellow, and in two weeks they began to 

 die. while in greenhouse No. 6, where the old 

 fertilizer had been used, the plants thrived and 

 Tiot one of them died. That of the 13,500 plants 

 In the other three houses, 9,600 died, and of 

 the 10,000 3 and 4-lnch pot plants, only 500 

 lived. The plalntlfT claims that on havipg 

 the fertilizer examined it was found to be only 

 half bone, the remainder muriate of potash, 

 ■which even in exceedingly small proportions. 

 Is Injurious to rose plants. As a result of their 

 lo«» the nursery people, instead of sending 

 out roses this spring, have been bnving in 

 plants, paying as high as 25 cents a plant, in 

 -order to restock their houses. 



The defense is that the fertilizer sent the 

 nursery company was the same as prevlonslv 

 nsed and that when It left the works was 

 Just what It was represented to be. The loss 

 to the company is laid to alleged want <f 

 care. 



The defendant Is represented bv McCortP" 

 Williamson & McCarter. the head of which Is 

 the attorney-general. Richard V. LlndHhnrv. 

 and Frederick J. Panlks. of Lindaburg. Depue 

 & Fanlks, of New York, are looking after the 

 nursery's interests.
