If you are not familiar with the growth characteristic.s of a plarrt, try to find out from your county agent, your nurseryman or by reading books and articles on plant ma terials. This will prevent costly mistake.s. Two examples. A friend calli’d and reque.sted th^t I drop by and have a look at her backyard.

May you sue the child's father for the damages sustained? No. A parent is ordinarily not liable for the wrongful anid de structive acts of his child. This is the rule everywhere in the absence of a positive statute to the contrary. The mere relationship of par ent and child is not alone suffi cient to make a p.trent re.sjonsi-1 hie for the wrongful aots of his child.
