THE GARDENING WORLD 
September 21, 1889. 
Mr. Francis Fell, general manager of Mr. Ware’s 
business, examined by Mr. Loebnis, stated, with 
reference to the effort made to purchase the plaintiff’s 
stock, that they did not then know of any more sports, 
and thought if they got possession of all the stock, 
they could control the sale of the variety. He drew up 
the circulars and advertisements which had been sent 
out; and only altered the name to “ Golden Fleece ”in 
deference to Mr. Ware’s expressed wish to that effect 
after this action was commenced. The variety, “Mrs. 
H. J. Jones,” was sent out by them in the same way as 
they had done “Mrs. Hawkins.” They bought the 
stock from another firm. The gross amount received 
from the sale of “ Mrs. Hawkins ” was £20 Os. 9(2. 
Mr. Thomas S. Ware, examined by Mr. Loelinis, 
gave evidence as to his being present when the plants 
were shown at the Aquarium in September, 1888, as to 
his conversation on that occasion with Mr. Hawkins, 
the subsequent correspondence, the interview at 
Twickenham, and their failure to come to terms. 
He made an offer of £10 for the plaintiff’s stock, and 
certainly told them that if he failed to get it, he would 
send his out. When a plant gets a certificate, any 
others of the same kind must be sold under the same 
name, and no one had any right to prevent it. He 
could not tell what motive influenced him when he 
changed the name—he gave the order on the spur of 
the moment to please Mr. Hawkins. He considered 
that the certificate given to the plaintiffs was the same 
thing as giving it to him. By Mr. Ker : It had been 
his opinion on all occasions that the two plants were 
identical. 
The arbitrators took time to consider their award, 
which has now been made, and from which the follow¬ 
ing is an extract:— 
“We do award and certify that the plaintiffs’ and 
defendant’s Chrysanthemums, the subject of this action, 
are identical. That the plaintiffs are not entitled to 
any damages for the user of the name, title, or descrip¬ 
tion—‘Mrs. Hawkins’—as applied to a Chrysanthemum 
plant for which the plaintiffs were awarded two First 
Class Certificates of Merit in September, 1888. And 
we award that the plaintiffs pay the whole costs of the 
action up to the date of the order of reference, dated 
the 22nd day of August, 1889. And we further award 
that the whole of the costs of the arbitration and 
award be borne in equal moieties by the said plaintiffs 
and defendant respectively.”

Vermin on Currants.— John Morison: The roots of your 
plants are infested with the root form of the same insect that 
infests the Apple under the name of American Blight (Schizoneura 
lanigera). If the plants are large, and you do not intend lifting 
them, clear away the soil from the top of the roots so as to lay 
the insects hare ; then deluge them with soap-suds, so that the 
soil immediately surrounding them will he completely sodden. 
Another plan is to lift the bushes and thoroughly wash their 
roots by dipping them in a tub containing strong soap-suds. 
Be-plant in a fresh piece of ground, Covering the ground onr 
the roots in summer with farmyard manure has the effect of 
keeping the insects near the surface, as they never descend 
to any gTeat depth. Then Toy removing this, together with a 
small quantity of soil if necessary, the insects are easily got at 
by the application of strong soap-suds as above mentioned. 
Wood ashes are also to he recommended to he laid over the bare 
roots rather thickly if the latter are infested with blight.
