•vrell known German growers. About 

 half of the pips in question were used 

 at Rutherford during the winter of 1903, 

 and about the middle of March, 1904, 

 the Koehrs Co. stored the remaining half 

 million pips with the Manhattan Cold 

 Storage Co., New York. The following 

 summer the Eoehrs Co. discovered that 

 the pips, while in the storage warehouse, 

 had sprouted and were growing. An 

 investigation was at once made by law- 

 yers who represent a number of local 

 florists and who have given special at- 

 tention to the legal rights of the trade 

 in the matter of, the very heavy losses 

 which have been sustained through the 

 careless storage of goods. As a result of 

 this investigation a demand was made 

 upon the storage company to reimburse 

 the Eoehrs Co. for the loss of the pips, 

 and thia demand brought about a test 

 . of the respective rights of the florist and 

 the storage house, under the circum- 

 stances disclosed. 



It was claimed, on behalf of the stor- 

 age company, that its legal obligation 

 was not to ' ' preserve the goods, ' ' in the 

 absence of a special agreement for a 

 specific temperature, and that, as the 

 Eoehrs Co. could not establish what oc- 

 curred in the storage warehouse, it could 

 not recover. 



It was also claimed that the condition 

 of the goods at the time they were re- 

 ceived from Europe, as well as their con- 

 dition at the time they were stored, was 

 in doubt, because not all of the boxes 

 were examined at the greenhouses of the 

 Eoehrs Co. 



So important were these points to the 

 trade generally, that the Eoehrs Co. de- 

 termined to fight the case to the end, 

 and at the trial many well-known florists 

 and growers of lily of the valley ap- 

 peared as witnesses. Attorneys for the 

 Eoehrs Co. succeeded in getting before 

 the jury the temperature records of the 

 storage company, which contained some 

 damaging evidence in the way of tem- 

 peratures which experts said were too 

 high to preserve the pips. It was also 

 shown that the goods of several other 

 dealers stored there during the same 

 period were found to have sprouted. 



Expert storage men were brought from 

 Philadelphia and other cities, who testi- 

 fied that the storage plant of the de- 

 fendant was constructed according to 

 the most modern plans and was equipped 

 with approved refrigerating machinery; 

 but there was strong evidence offered to 

 establish some special carelessness and 

 oversight on the part of the storage 

 company, during the spring of the year 

 in question. A sufficient rise in tem- 

 perature was indicated to start the bulbs 

 from their dormant state, and it was 

 proved by the testimony of experts that 

 when once the pips had sprouted, their 

 growth could not be stopped or retarded 

 without destroying bhem. The court 

 mied against the storage company on
