will meet requirements of state markets, and special facilities 
will be given the export trade this year. Estimate of the Hale 
Georgia orchards—2160 acres—is 75,000 bushels, and for the 
state about one million bushels. Mr. Hale thinks peach¬ 
raising can be conducted more favorably in Connecticut than 
in Georgia, as to adjusting marketing to the conditions of the 
hour. Moreover, it costs $600 packing and freight to place a 
carload of Georgia peaches in Hartford ; from Glastonbury, 
$60. On the other hand, labor conditions are more favorable 
in Georgia. _ 
COURT DECISION AGAINST NURSERYMAN. 
Nurserymen are indebted to San Jose, Cal., for the name of 
a troublesome scale and for numerous items of interest to the 
trade. The California Fruit Grower publishes a dispatch from 
San Jose, under date of May 16th, as follows : 
A decision and judgment was rendered in the Superior Court to-day 
which makes it obligatory on a nurseryman to sell fruit trees that will 
grow, bear fruit and in fact approach the general standard. About a 
year ago L. P. Brackett, a fruit grower of this county, bought some 
prune trees of H. Martens and set out three acres. After three years 
of care and culture the trees, which never had made but a moderate 
growth, died. 
Suit was brought against the nurseryman for damages, and the 
judgment rendered is for $1,500. The suit turned on the word “ mer¬ 
chantable.” Expert testimony was furnished to show what a fruit 
tree must be to reach the standard expected by the law. The court 
decided that any person who is deceived into buying trees that only 
cumber the ground, but never thrive or bear fruit, is entitled to be 
recompensed to the actual amount of the loss sustained.
