The season has been a strenuous one 

 with the nurserymen in nearly all sections 

 of the country. In most localities spring, 

 whether early or late, came all at once, 

 though it can as yet scarcely be said to 

 have arrived in New England. Waiting 

 for a belated spring is about as nervous 

 a job as falls to the lot of any nursery- 

 man heavily booked up with orders. 



CONTRACT HELD NOT BINDING. 



According to the finding of a jury in 

 the court or Justice Hawkins at North- 

 port, L. I., April 22, the terms of a 

 signed contract are not binding, in the 

 event of a verbal understanding be- 

 tween the parties to the contract. 



The case was that of Hoopes, Brother 

 & Thomas vs. George W. Duryea. The 

 plaintiffs are nurserymen of West Ches- 

 ter, Pa., and they sued to recover a bill 

 of $192, claimed to be due them for 

 fruit trees delivered on the premises 

 of the defendant April 5. The jury 

 brought in a verdict for the defendant. 



According to the evidence, W. W. 

 Tomlinson, an agent of the plaintiffs, 

 in September, 1909, secured an order 

 from the defendant, who owns a farm 

 in Elwood, for 200 fruit trees to be de- 

 livered in April or May, 1911. The 

 printed order signed by Mr. Duryea 

 stated that the order could not be 

 countermanded, and that the agent had 

 no authority to change any of the 

 terms of the contract. In December, 

 1909, Mr. Duryea wrote to the com- 

 pany countermanding his order for the 

 trees. He received no reply. March 

 29 he was notified that the trees were 

 at Greenlawn station, consigned to him. 

 He wired the company that he would 

 not accept them, and April 5 Mr. Tom- 

 linson hired a truck and delivered the 

 trees under a shed on Duryea 's farm, 

 later notifying Durj-ea that he had 

 done so. The company then brought 

 suit aga inst M r. Duryea to recover the 

 value ofTHfWees, whicK^Was $175, and 

 their expense in delivermg them. 



Pn the witness stand^ MgfUyiTyea. said 

 he signed the order iJpiliRuii noticing 

 the terms of the contract, but that Mr. 

 Tomlinson had told him that in case 

 he wanted to countermand the order 

 it would be all right. 



The case will probably be appflpile(l;r
