BREACH OF SEED WARRANTY. 



Measure of Damages. 



Probably the latest appellate court 

 decision in regard to the measure of 

 damages for bieach of warranty of 

 seed is that of the Mississippi Supre^ue 

 Court, wherein it was decided that 

 "where seed is sold with warranty that 

 it is true to name, the measure of dam- 

 ages for a breach thereof, when it is 

 actually sown and i>roduces a crop, not 

 harmful to the land, but of less value 

 than would have been produced had 

 the warranty not been broken, is the 

 value of the crop, such as the seed was 

 warranted to produce, and would ordi^ 

 narilv have ])ro.luced, less the value of 

 the crop actually grown from the seed 

 purchased." (Cratton-Stanips Drug Co. 

 vs. Williams, 62 Southern Reporter 273.) 

 Substantially this same measure of 

 damages has been applied in the follow- 

 ing cases which arose in other states: 

 Florida Supreme Court, A'aughan s Seed 

 Store vs. Stringfellow, 48 Southern Re- 

 porter 410; Washington Supreme Court, 

 L'uhrman vs. Interior Warehouse Co., 

 116 I'acific Reporter 660; Wolcott vs. 

 Mount, 3S New Jersey Law Reports 

 496; Passinger vs. Thorburn. 34^ New 

 York Reports 634; Crutcher vs. hlliott, 

 13 Kentucky haw Reporter 592; White 

 vs. Miller, 71 New York Reports 118; 

 California District Court of Appeal, 

 Moody vs. Perrano, 84 Pacific Reporter 

 783; Missouri Court of Appeals, Clipe 

 vs. Mock, 131 Southwestern Reporter 



710. 



If the seed contracted for would have 

 produced a perennial crop, such as al- 

 falfa, the expense of procuring and sow- 

 ing new seed and of cultivating the new 

 crop are additional items of damages 

 which may be recovered. (New Y'ork 

 Supreme 'Court, Appellate Division; 

 Depew vs. Peck Hardware Co., 105 New 

 Y'ork Supplement 390.) 



But the Supreme Court of Tennessee 

 has limited the measure of damages 

 which a buyer of seed potatoes was en- 

 titled to recover because they proved to 

 be of a later variety than that con- 

 tracted for, to the amount of the excess 

 of the value of the seed contracted for 

 over that delivered. (Harley vs. Buchi, 

 10 Lea 346.) 



Damages for Failure to Germinate. 



When seed is expressly or impliedly 

 represented by the seller to be of good 

 quality and part of it fails to germi- 

 nate, the buyer 's measure of recoverable 

 damage has been held by some courts 

 to be the same as where seed fails to 

 prove true to the name under which it 

 is sold — the difference between the crop 

 actually produced and the greater value 

 the crop would have had if fhe seed
