The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



July 9, 1908. 



and prudence of our members. I con- 

 gratulate you upon this showing and I 

 hope the coming year may prove less 

 trying. 



"I trust the efforts which have been 

 made to improve the currency and bank- 

 ing system of our country may insure 

 more stable conditions, so that the busi- 

 ness man may suffer only for his own 

 blunders and not for those of others. 



"Tight money last fall undoubtedly 

 hampered the operations of our trade and 

 if the recent currency legislation shall 

 prove effective in preventing such con- 

 ditions in future, we shall have at least 

 that much for which to thank our na- 

 tional lawmakers. 



"Notwithstanding the unsettled finan- 

 cial conditions, the past year has been 

 reasonably satisfactory to most houses 

 in the trade. The total volume of busi- 

 ness has been large and prices have 

 ruled unusually high on many staple ar- 

 ticles in the seed line. The demand for 

 high grade goods continues to increase 

 and there has never been a time when 

 a well earned reputation for furnishing 

 seeds of first-class quality was more 

 valuable than it is today." 



"PRICE GUARANTEED.'* 



A sells to B a lot of bulbs for future 

 delivery. The acceptance of the order 

 reads, ' ' Price guaranteed. ' ' B later finds 

 that he can buy the same or a better 

 grade at much less. B offers to accept 

 the stock at the market price. -A de- 

 clines to make any reduction, claiming 

 that "price guaranteed" simply applies 

 to his own prices. This point was not 

 covered in the order. B claims that had 

 such been A's thought the agreement 

 should have read, "Price guaranteed 

 against my own decline. ' ' Who is cor- 

 rect? J. S. T. 



The agreement ought always to show 

 the extent of the guaranty in a case of 

 this kind. If the contract is silent, and 

 there is no well established trade usage 

 to explain the words, the guaranty will 

 probably be held to extend no further 

 than to the seller 's own prices. A con- 

 tract of guaranty is to be strictly con- 

 strued in favor of the guarantor. If B 

 claims that A should have made the 

 guaranty read, * * Price guaranteed 

 against my own decline," A may as 

 well claim that B should have insisted 

 upon having it read, ' ' Price guaranteed 

 against decline by any seller." Inas- 

 much as there is a doubt as to the mean- 

 ing, the courts, if the usual practice is 

 followed, will give the phrase no broader 

 interpretation than is necessary to pro- 

 tect the buyer against any price made 

 by the guarantor himself. 



SEED FARMS OF ESSEX. 



A party of sixty Hungarian farmers 

 have been touring England under the 

 auspices of the Royal Agricultural So- 

 ciety and spent a day inspecting the 

 seed farms of Essex. The route took 

 the party past the seed farms of E. W. 

 King & Co., and the first halt was to 

 inspect a 5-acre field of sweet peas in 

 full bloom, these having been planted 

 in the autumn. Passing the warehouses, 

 offices and trial grounds of King & Co., 

 the party went through the town of 

 Coggeshall and next came to Dobbie & 

 Co., where the party were welcomed by 

 Mr. Cuthbertson and were delighted by 

 a brilliant show of Spanish iris, sweet 

 peas and Scotch violas, all of which were
