The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



NOTBMBEB 26, 1908. 



This shows more than double the price 

 of the beginning of the* season, while 

 florts like Washington, compacta and 

 Blondin are all high in price. We only 

 write this to let those who import spiraeas 

 •know, so that their expectations may not 

 be deceived. Further regarding liliums, 

 the lancifolium varieties are far from 

 what we call good; the rubrums and 

 roseums are middling, while the albums 

 are poor; in fact, worse than we have 

 Been them for years, and first-class al- 

 bums are not to be had at any price. ' ' 



CORN CROP CONTRACTS VALID. 



The courts of Nebraska have just come 

 to the rescue of the seed growers there 

 with a decision affirming the legality of 

 the ordinary form of growing contract, 

 the validity of which had been brought 

 into question by the result of some pre- 

 vious litigation, greatly increasing the 

 uncertainties of the business. 



The case in question was an action in 

 replevin brought by the J. C. Eobinson 

 Seed Co., of Waterloo, against John 

 Hamilton, J. E. Hiveley, Citizens' State 

 Bank, of Waterloo, and its cashier, H. 

 B. Waldron. 



The evidence showed that in 1907 John 

 Hamilton grew a crop of Stowell 's Ever- 

 green sweet corn on land owned by Mrs. 

 Mary T. Eobinson . and which she had 

 leased to the J. C. Eobinson Seed Co. 

 Hamilton went on the farm under a con- 

 tract with the seed company wherein he 

 agreed to do all the work, harvest and 

 deliver the crop to the seed company at 

 Waterloo. He was to receive as compen- 

 sation for his services such sum as three- 

 fifths of the marketable crop would bring 

 at a stipulated price per hundred pounds. 

 The contract also provided that the title 

 to the corn should be at all times in the 

 eeed company. 



After the corn was shelled, Hamilton 

 ■old three-fifths of the same to the de- 

 fendant J. E. Hiveley, and gave a chat- 

 tel mortgage on the corn he sold to H. 

 B. Waldron and the bank. The other 

 two-fifths of the corn was delivered by 

 Hamilton to the Eobinson Seed Co. 



The three-fifths of the corn sold by 

 Hamilton was taken possession of by the 

 Bobinson Co. under the writ of replevin 

 and at the trial the court held: That the 

 agreement between Hamilton and the 

 seed company constituted a cropper's 

 contract; that the relation between the 

 parties thereto was that of master and 

 servant; that Hamilton had no right to 

 sell the com or mortgage the same, and 

 that the purchaser and mortgagee got 

 no title or lien on the corn. At the close 

 of all the testimony for both sides, the 

 court directed the jury to return a ver- 

 dict in favor of the J. C. Eobinson 

 Seed Co. 



This case is vitally important to the 

 seed growers of Nebraska, for there has 

 been an impression, owing to some for- 

 mer decisions, that contracts like the one 

 involved in this suit were not enforce- 

 able. 



COLD STORAGE BULBS. 



Why do my cold storage longiflorums 

 throw but one flower, or at best two to a 

 plant, and bloom when only about twelve 

 inches high! They were 7-9 bulbs, potted 

 in 5-inch pots, placed under benches in 

 a carnation house, watered carefully and 

 given as good treatment as possible.
