Emblements

* The vegetable chattels called emblements are the corn [grain] and other growth of- the earth which are produced annually, not spontaneously but by labor and industry; thence called frueius industrialesfi A growing crop of grass, even if grown from seed, and ready to be cut for haj', cannot be taken as emblements: the improvement is not distinguishable from natural product, although it may be increased by cultivation." The doctrine of emblements is founded on the uncertainty of the termination of the tenant's estate. Where that is certain there exists no title to emblements.' Nursery trees more nearly resemble emblements than fixtures; emblements being the annual product or fruit of things sown or planted. Hops, berries,, and the like, are such, but not the roots and bushes from which they grow. Emblements reared by a tenant entering subseqtiently to a mortgage pass to the purchaser at a foreclosure sale, unless gathered before the sale." The word is used both for the crops or grain and for the privilege of reaping or gathering them.
