case Of unusual interest to the horticul-
tural people Of Wisconsin has been on
trial here for several days before Judge
Siebecker In 1894 Charles Hirschin-
ger, well known in Badgerdom as a fruit
grower and a member of the state As
sembly for several years, sold to j. G..
Stein of Baraboo some 500 apple trees
and which the latter supposed were Of
the Duchess variety 1t has developed
that 400 Of the trees were not as repre-
sented and that they are Wisconsin ap-
pies, which are inferior to the others
and which are not adapted to this eli
mate. Many of the trees died and Mir.
Stein brought suit to recover $1,000 in
damt ges for the money spent in purchas-
ing the trees, for the labor involved in
their culture, for the use of the land,
which has brought no returns, and for
the loss involved in the want of profit
which he is now deriving from the 100
Duchess trees which were in the lot pur-
chased.
Much of the time was consumed in
hearing expert testimony and among the
witnesses examined were A. ]. Phillips

Atkinson. The former has been secre-
tary of the State Horticultural society
for five years and the latter has been the
treasurer Of the organization. A. G..

lie was the introducer Of the Russian
apples in America.
Mr.. Hirschinger admitted that the
trees were not as represented and that
some mistake had been made. He also
showed that there was a clause in the
contract to the effect that he would not
be held responsible for more than the
actual value of the trees when pur-
chased.
Cases similar to this are rare. Not
long ago Andrew A. Meyers Of Madison
sold a quantity of seed corn of an al
legged superior variety but when it came
harvest time it was found that it was
ordinary dent corn. The purchaser of
the seed brought action for damages and
