XOVEMBEn 13. 1902. 



IMPORTANT DAMAGE CASE. 



Two suits, (if iiilcifsl til pfixiTis in- 

 terested in Jloiiculture, have recently 

 been settled in the courts. They aic 

 suits brought by Miss Sarah B. Fay ami 

 Mr. Michael H. Walsh against the X. 

 v.. N. II. & H. R. R. Co.. to recover 

 for injury done to their rose gardens at 

 Woods Hole, Jlass., by the poisonous 

 gases in the smoke from a fire set liy 

 the railroad. 



On May 13, 1901, the railroad tore 

 down and set fire to some old buildings 

 on their premises at Woods Hole. Part 

 of the material burned was tarred roof- 

 ing, and the smoke from this fire, con- 

 taining carbolic acid gas and other gases 

 injurious to plants, was blown over into 

 the gardens of Miss Fay and Mr. Walsh, 

 and many of the rose plants killed and 

 others seriously injured. Suits were 

 brought and the cases referred to 

 Preseott F. Hall, Esq., of Boston, 

 as auditor. At the hearings Miss 

 Fay and Mr. Walsh were repre- 

 sented by the Hon. Robert M. 

 Morse and Mr. Henry M. Hutchings, 

 and the railroad by Mr. Thomas C. Day. 

 The auditor assessed the damages to 

 Miss Fay at $5,387 and the damages to 

 Mr. Walsh at $16,602. Before the cases 

 were to be tried at Barnstable the rail- 

 road paid $'20,000 to settle both cases. 



It is of special interest that damages 

 were awarded, not only for the market 

 value of the standard varieties but for 

 the stocks of new roses raised by Jlr. 

 Walsh and not yet disseminated, and 

 that the values of these were largely de- 

 termined by the success of Mr. Walsh's 

 previous introductions; also, "for loss of 

 prize money and of advertising at exhibi- 

 tions." Mr. Walsh had in the past re- 

 ceived numerous prizes at exhibitions 

 and the value of the prizes he would 

 have won but for the loss of his stock, 

 and the resulting advertising, was con- 

 sidered in the estimate of damage suf- 

 fered. 



In the address to the auditor appear 

 many references to previous decisions in 

 similar cases that would be of great 

 value to the attorney of any florist hav- 

 ing to prosecute a suit for damages of 

 the character named. An important pre- 

 cedent has been established that will be , 

 of great benefit to others who sulTer 

 damage of this sort. 



A NEW YORK RHYMSTER. 



Mr. Hartman, of Bradshaw & Hart- 

 pan inspired by the mountain dew stor- 

 ies of Mr, Bradshaw after his southern 

 trip for holly, has drifted into song, as 

 the following lines will show: 

 Bradsbiiw and Hartm.iu are made of the stuff 

 That never yields and never talies a hlult. 

 Tliey traveled throngh the south, o'er moun- 

 tains high. 

 On the backs of mnles (don't ask them why). 

 They found the goods now so much In demand. 

 The brilliant holly, now so gav and grand 

 Enough! They'll have to fill .vour store. 

 And if you say so they can give y^u more.
