HORTICULTURAL LAW
FULLY SUSTAINED.

Judge Carpenter in deciding the
suit of the A. Willis Nursery COM
pany, involving a small mount as the
value of some nursery stock, fully sus-
tanned the force of the state law re-
curing nursery companies to have
license from the state board of hor-
ticulture. A. Willis, an unlicensed
nursery salesman, sold some stock to
Mrs. C. A. Ballard in November, 1905.
The stock was delivered in May and
in February preceding the nursery Sc
cured a state license. Mr.. Ballard re-
fused to pay the purchase price, $3.50,
and the nursery sued. The court de-
cided in favor of the defendant, hold
ing that a contract made when the
nursery company was not authorized
under the law to do business in the
state would not be binding. The costs
were assessed against the nursery
company.
