Boddington vs. Schmidt. 



In the supreme court of Westcheester 

 county, at White Plains, N. Y., Art^chur 

 T. Boddington, of New York, has in- 

 stituted suit against Frederick F, 

 Schmidt, of Mount Vernon, and Willi iam 

 H. Hughes, a former Boddington em- 

 ployee, charging conspiracy and ocon- 

 version, asking for damages in the ^um 

 of $2,500. The plaintiff alleges txhat 

 from April, 1905, until March, i29]2, 

 Hughes was in his employ in a ccijnfi- 

 dential capacity; that between the 

 above dates Hughes shipped good^ to 

 the value of $2,500 to Schmidt, but Wbh&t 

 he never made any entry of the sa«.me, 

 and that he suppressed the records of 

 the shipments. 



Hughes was ordered to appear in the 

 supreme court March 25, to be exi^ara- 

 ined previous to trial before Jua»tice 

 Keogh. In his answer Schmidt demies 

 all of the allegations in the complaint 

 and it is contended that William H. 

 Hughes was at the time mentionec3 in 

 the complaint in the employ of the 

 plaintiff as superintendent of the pi ain- 

 tiff's business and as such had charge 

 thereof. Mr. Schmidt asserts that- he 

 paid for goods to Hughes believing •■that 

 his relationship was such as speciiiecarl in 

 the answer, and his attorney says fchat 

 he has every reason to believe that* he 

 will be able to show that Schmidt irs in 

 no way connected with any tran8ac~tion 

 •which would in any way appear to re- 

 veal a conspiracy. 



MUST NOT USE OWN NAME - . 



Judge Loring of the supreme ccuurt 

 at Boston has confirmed the rcportr; of 

 Walter F. Frederick as master, in the 

 suit in which Julius A. Zinn sough-rt to 

 restrain Zinn's Flower Shop from u^ing 

 that name in connection with its b»usi- 

 ness. The decree enjoins the usee of 

 the name Zinn's Flower Shop. Ji^lius 

 A. Zinn has carried on business on 

 Park street for many years, advertis- 

 ing as Zinn the Florist. For tw«elve 

 years Mrs. Olivia F. Zinn, plaintKiff's 

 wife, helped him in the i)usiness, tnav- 

 ing charge of the books and acoou-uts. 

 In May, 1912, they had differemees 

 about the management of the busit^ess, 

 and she remained away from the st;-iore, 

 September 2, 1912, Mrs. Zinn, on „ her 

 own account, began business on \^'est 



street under the name of Mrs. F. 



Zinn, sending cards to the custonBiers 

 of the plaintiff. September 27, 191 r2, a 

 corporation was formed un<ler the iissirae 

 of Zinn's Flower Shop. Mr. Zinn fre- 

 quently visited the store, and adviised 

 his wife in matters of business, but 

 they later were permanently separa -ted. 

 It was tlien that lie brought the pressent 

 proceeding, to i)revent her from ussing 

 the words Zinn's Flower Shop, thcr«ehv, 

 as he claimed, diverting liusiness f rom 

 his store to hers. 



RAZING AND BEBUILDINO. 



We expect to tear down and reb uild 

 -four old houses. What is the best ~way 

 to clean the old glass? The west hcaouse 

 is fourteen feet wide and six feet eright 

 inches high to the gutter. On the ussvest 

 of this there will be a 6-foot leam-to, 

 which will be replaced next year lisvith

The latest thing for trimming femi- 

 nine hats and even gowns, according to 

 the Chicago American, is fresh flowers. 

 I*aris so dictates; the latest dispatches 

 from the fashion center of the world 

 Hay so. The use of flowers will stamp 

 out the excessive luxury of aigrettes 

 and such things for trimmings.

a 20-foot house. Using IVj-inch pipe 

 for posts, how much of a concrete foun- 

 dation should be put in? J. H. W. 



The putty can be softened by soak- 

 ing in a solution of caustic soda, and by 

 using a putty knife most of it can be 

 removed. To clean the soot, shading, 

 etc., from the glass, scrub it with a stiff 

 brush, using sharp sand or Sapolio. 



There is no definite rule regarding 

 the depth and height of the foundation 



wall. If the soil is firm, a depth of 

 eighteen to twenty -four inches will an 

 swer and it can be carried to any height 

 desired. If there is to be glass in th(>^ 

 side wall, it will be a good plan to 

 carry the concrete up to the wall plate, 

 or, if no glass is to be used, it might 

 be carried to the eave plate. This will 

 be much more durable than a wooden 

 wall and will not cost much more. 



WITH NEAB-BOSTON GBOWEBS. 



F. J. Dolansky. 



F. J. Dolansky, of Lynn, has come to 

 the front the last two seasons as a suc- 

 cessful grower of gardenias and cat- 

 tleyas, and being interested iii seeing 

 how he grew these plants, a visit was 

 paid to his Lynn establishment. While 

 several growers around Boston have been 

 trying houses of gardenias for winter 

 flowering, the general result seems to 

 have been beautiful, healthy plants, but 

 no blooms. It is quite otherwise at Mr. 

 Dolansky 's. One house had just been 

 thrown out prior to my visit. Another 

 was in full crop, the flowers being large 

 and stems excellent, many stems carry- 

 ing two large buds which would open 

 together. A third house in solid beds 

 was just coming into crop and blooming 

 with as much apparent freedom as those 

 in raised benches. The late house will 

 give flowers until July. Houses will be 

 replanted from early in June until the 

 end of .July. Most of the young stock 

 is now in 2-inch pots or in the cutting 

 bench and will be given a shift into 3- 

 inch pots before planting. Mr. Dolan- 

 sky has been practically the only local 

 shipper of high grade gardenias to the 

 Boston market this season. 



Cattleyas are grown quite extensively 

 here, there being some 20,000 plants in 

 a wide ridge-and-furrow house on a side 

 hill. Much of the stock is new. Some 

 had not been potted long, but I was im- 

 pressed with its cleanliness and general 

 vigor. Pans are mostly used and all 

 plants are kejit well up to the light. C. 

 Triana' is more grown than any other 

 variety. I noted some charming white 

 varieties in flower. Labiata also is 

 heavily grown. 0. Schrcedera? was just 

 coining into flower, while the buds on 

 Mossiu' and Mendolli were showing in 

 the sheaths. Other varieties grown are 

 (lasUelliana, gigas and Dowiana, this 

 list insuring cattleya flowers the year 

 around. 



In addition to cattleyas and gar- 

 denias, quite a variety of other stock is 

 grown, much of it for the store in Lynn. 

 Carnations looked remarkably well. 

 Pink Delight, Gloriosa, White Wonder, 

 Benora, Beacon, Rosette and White En- 

 chantress being the varieties. White 

 Wonder is much preferred to White En- 

 chantress, owing to its continuous flow- 

 ering qualities. Two or three houses 

 are devoted to roses and these look well. 

 The varieties are Killarney, Dark Pink 

 Killarney, White Killarney, Richmond, 

 Taft, Ward, Kai serin and My Mary- 

 land. The last named is well liked as a 

 winter bloomer. Quantities of Easter 

 lilies, acacias, azaleas and other Easter 

 plants arc grown, while candytuft, 

 stocks and other Memorial day crops 

 were waiting for vacant benches.

The visitors to William Sim's large 

 and up-to-date establishment at Clifton-
