 ant alleges ia its own. Numerous wit- 

 nesses appeared for each side during 

 the day, and at the conclusion of the 

 taking of testimony, counsel announced 

 that they would submit the case on 

 briefs. Judge HoUister gave the com- 

 plainant two weeks within which to file 

 its brief, and the defendant was al- 

 lowed ten days additional to file its 

 brief. Munn & Munn, of New York 

 city, and Walter F. Murray, of Cin- 

 cinnati, represented the complainant, 

 and Pogue, Hoflfheimer & Pogue, the 

 defendant. 



EXPRESS WABBANTY OF SEED. 



Under an Oral Contract. 



When controversy arises as to whether 

 a statement made by a seller of seed 

 concerning its quality is to be regarded 

 as an express warranty, the question is 

 to be determined by the test whether 

 the seller assumes to assert a fact of 

 which the buy^r is ignorant, or merely 

 states an opinion or judgment upon a 

 matter of which the seller has no special 

 knowledge, and on which the buyer may 

 be expected also to have an opinion, and 

 to exercise his own judgment; in the 

 former case there is a warranty, in the 

 latter not. At least, this is the test 

 announced by the Appellate Division 

 of the New York Supreme Court in the 

 case of Coleman vs. Simpson Hendee 

 & Co., 147 New York Supplement 865. 

 This case was a suit to recover dam- 

 ages for claimed breach of warranty 

 in the sale of a carload of seed oats 

 under an oral contract. The court finds 

 that the following facts were suflicient 

 to sustain a finding of an express war- 

 ranty of the quality of the oats. 



Plaintiff requested defendant's sell- 

 ing agent to furnish "northern-grown 

 seed oats, ' ' saying that he desired some- 

 thing nice and would pay a premium 

 over and above the price for seed oats, 

 and the agent answered that they had 

 them, and that he would see that plain- 

 tiff received a nice carload. Plaintiff 

 advised the agent that he desired the 

 oats to sell to his farmers and custom- 

 ers, and that they were "cranks on s^ed 

 oats." The next day the agent went to 

 the plaintiff and gav& confirmation that 



WAR may or may not affect the Gladiolus Businefls 

 of this Country this year, but will the effect be 

 any worse than the war on legitimate prices last year? 



Extremely low prices for any stock is det^imf ntal 

 to GOOD business. ;^1 ' i. 



For instance, more money was made by the FLO-. 

 RIST when "AMERICA" bulbs were worth $50.00 

 per thousand, than last year when imported bulbs were 

 sold for $3.00 per thousand. 



Our prices are never CHEAP, but they are consis- 

 tent with the quality and purity of stock that we grow. 



You will do well to get our prices before buying.

the oats were tested seed oats. Two 

 witnesses called to testify in the case 

 stated that the term * ' seed oats ' ' means 

 in the trade "any selected natural

CUCUMBER DISEASES. 



There have come to the U. S. Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture this year an un- 

 usual number of complaints of losses to 

 cucumber growers from blights of foli- 

 age or fruit, particularly in certain 

 north-central states where pickle grow- 

 ing is an important industry. 



These injuries have proved upon in- 

 vestigation to be due to one or another 

 of several distinct troubles: blighting 

 of the foliage by downy mildew or

 known and for which a remedy is being 

 sought; to the pickle spot, a disease of 

 sporadic occurrence and not yet remedi-

 still unknown nature called white
