Jason has participated in the flower auction for the last nineyears as an agent for Holt Ltd. (Holt). Every occasion Holt hadbeen given clear direction to buy whatever kinds of flowers he feltthe store would need and be able to sell. There always was a widearray of flowers available at the auction; there were exoticflowers like orchids, as well as greenery like vines, and pottedplants like camellia bushes and rose bushes. On this, occasion, themanger from Holt gave Jason express instructions to buy only cutflowers such as tulips, and stemmed roses. Jason was at the auctionfor an hour when numerous flats of young camellia bushes and rosebushes, all potted, were about to be sold. Jason thought about itand since the flowers were going for an excellent price, bought2000 rose and camellia bushes, on behalf of the Holt Ltd. WhenJason returned to the store with the 2000 bushes, the managerrefused to accept them, saying that was not what he wanted and toldJason to buy. Jason insisted that these were excellent choicesgiven the good price he paid for them, and in the conversation,noted to the manager, that he could always cut the flowers off, ofthe bushes if he wanted cut flowers.
