NURSERYMEN AND LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS 115 



payment due, as in the case of certificates of payment due contrac- 

 tors, sending copies both to the client and to the nurseryman. In 

 any case, the landscape architect should notify the nurseryman 

 promptly by some means, as soon as he has verified the bill and 

 recommended the client to make payment. In the opinion of the 

 American Society of Landscape Architects, there is no reason why 

 the nurseryman, after the receipt of such notice and after informing 

 the landscape architect of his intention and giving opportunity 

 for reply in case there is special ground for objection, should not 

 address himself directly to the client with regard to payment of 

 the account. Furthermore, if the landscape architect should delay 

 sending such notice to the nurseryman for more than sixty days 

 after the receipt of both bill and stock from the nurseryman (unless 

 in the interval he shall have requested the nurseryman to agree 

 to an adjustment of the bill on account of error in the bill or defect 

 in the shipment) the American Society of Landscape Architects 

 recognizes that the nurseryman may properly notify the client 

 direct, after notifying the landscape architect of his intention and 

 giving reasonable time for reply, that the bill has been sent the 

 landscape architect for verification and that pa^v'ment is overdue. 



3. For the protection both of the Landscape Architect and the 

 nurseryman, from possible misunderstanding on the part of the 

 client, the American Society of Landscape Architects recognizes 

 it is entirely proper that a nurseryman, when accepting a large 

 order from a Landscape Architect on account of a client, should 

 send a copy of the acceptance direct to the client so as to put the 

 latter on notice.
