WARRANTY OF NURSERY STOCK. 



BJentlon The ReTlcw when yon write. 



Legal Decisions Affecting Sales. 



The rules of law which have been 

 recently mentioned in The Review as 

 applying to warranties in the sale of 

 seeds, and tp seedsmen's liability for 

 breach of such warranties, are largely 

 applicable also to sales of nursery 

 stock. 



One of the late appellate court opin- 

 ions on these points is that handed 

 down by the Idaho Supreme Court in 

 the case of Grisinger vs. Hubbard, 122 

 Pacific Reporter S53, wherein it was 

 decided that a nurseryman who grows 

 young fruit trees for sale to persons 

 desiring to cultivate fruit orchards 

 with a view to raising fruit for com- 

 mercial purposes is presumed to war- 

 rant that the trees sold are adapted 

 to those purposes. This warranty in- 

 cludes an implied representation that 

 the trees are in such condition that 

 they will grow after being transplanted, 

 if or<Jinary care and attention are 

 given them in their planting and cul- 

 tivation.
