president of the Pleischman Baths and 

 Fleischman Floral Co., brought an equity 

 suit in the United States District Court, 

 December 27, against the Carnegie Trust 

 Company and other persons to compel 

 them to account for and refund all money 

 or property of Mr. Fleischman received 

 by them. It was alleged that the Car- 

 negie Trust Company receivddsjthe equity 

 in the Hotel Le Marquis property, valued 

 at $150,000, rents aggregating $30,000 

 annually, and obtained payment in full 

 of its debt of $64,250 to the detriment of 

 other creditors. A petition in bankruptcy 

 was filed against Mr. Fleischman Novem- 

 ber 30, 1908. In March, 1908, he con- 

 veyed the Hotel Le Marquis, valued at 

 $525,000 and mortgaged for $404,000, to 

 the National Center Kealty Company, 

 which he had caused to be incorporated 

 with a capital stock of $60,000, but he 

 managed and controlled the company and 

 the hotel as his own personal property. 

 When the petition in bankruptcy was 

 filed against him he owed the Carnegie 

 Trust Company $64,250, and when, March 

 22, 1909, the Center Kealty Company 

 transferred the hotel to John B. Moore- 

 head, the Carnegie Trust Company's 

 claim, which then amounted to $65,672, 

 was included. Mr. Greenhall wants Chas. 

 C. Dickinson, president of the Carnegie 

 Trust Company, to account for $1,215 and 

 John B. Stanchfield $17,802, or as much 

 thereof as ha.s been received by them. 



POLYPODIUMS IN DWELLINGS. 



Though the polypodiums are numerous 

 and are found growing in almost all 

 parts of the world, there' are not many 

 species that are suitable for house deco- 

 rations. Some grow too large, others are 

 by far too dwarf, while some are de- 

 ciduous, their foliage being too soft to 

 withstand the variable temperatures of 

 the dwelling room. Still, there are more 

 than enough species and varieties that 

 may be selected from this extensive genus 

 to suit the tastes of the most fastidious. 



A considerable proportion of the 

 species produce creeping rhizomes, which 

 must be kept near the surface of the soil 

 if the plants are to thrive satisfactorily; 

 some, in fact, produce them on the sur- 

 face, and tlicse are well adapted for 

 growing both in pots and baskets. The 

 soil should be of a light, peaty nature, to 

 enable the water to pass through it 

 freely, and the drainage in all cases be 

 ample, as but few of the species do well 

 when overwatered. Most gardeners are 

 well acquainted with the old Phlebodium 

 aureuni, which at one time played an im- 

 portant part in a collection of stove

ferns at the great exhibitions. This is 

 synonymous with Polypotlium aureum, 

 and was introduced as far back as 1742. 

 Since that time many fine species have 

 been introduced, and not a few forms 

 have been raised in Europe, P. Mayi 

 is one of these, says a writer in the 

 Gardeners' Magazine. The fronds are 

 similar in color to those of aureum, but 

 they are of a fine, wavy character the 

 whole of their length; the edges are quite

crispate. This is undoubtedly one of the 

 finest varieties yet introduced, and grows 

 well in the greenhouse either in a pot or 

 basket. P. Schneideri is another hybrid 

 that should be found in every collection. 

 The fronds are deeply cut and, having 

 that beautiful glaucous tint found in 

 P. aureum, they are most attractive. When 

 well grown they attain a length of about 

 two feet, and are borne on a wiry leaf- 

 stalk of six inches in length. P.
