Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 16 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“[T]he occasional purchase and sale of products necessitated by reason of storms, frost, and other emergencies, caused by the natural elements as shown by the record is, we think, quite consistent with the theory that defendants are primarily and exclusively engaged in agriculture in the production of flowers, plants, flowering shrubs, ornamental grasses, etc., necessary to meet the wants of purchasers of flowers and floral designs and tributes.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majority“* * * The nature of the work done at this shop should not, we think, be considered as segregated from the entire enterprise. Everything that is there done is `an incident to' or `in conjunction with' the agricultural enterprise which is being carried on by defendants.”
