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 26 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“‘ The owner of land may lawfully contract for its cultivation, and may provide, by such contract, in whom the ownership of the product shall vest. In such contract the parties may provide that upon the performance of a condition, or the happening of an event, the ownership shall be changed. Such an arrangement is not a conditional sale, as the subject-matter was not in existence at the time of the contract. Under such contract, the property vests in the proper party as soon as it comes into existence. Crops to be raised are an exception to the general rule ‘that title to property not ill existence cannot be affected so as to vest the title when it comes into existence.' In case of crops to be sown, it vests potentially from the time of the bargain, actually, as soon as the subject arises.””
