Crops. 65 Cal. 458. The growing crops of those vegetable productions of the soil which are not spontaneous, but require an outlay of cost and labor in one part of the year, the recompense for which is to arise in the shape of a crop in another part of the same year.

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. See further Chop; Fbdotus. '7 Tex. Ap. 417; 4 id. 407-9, cases; 2 Bishop, Crim. Law, § 331. S2 Bish.
