Julius H. Zinn has brought a success- 

 ful suit to restrain his wife, who oper- 

 ates a flower store on West street, from 

 using the title "Zinn's Flower Store." 



There is much interest being taken 

 in the coming club field day at W. H. 

 Elliott's, Madbury, N. H., May 21. A 

 party of 100 is expected to make the 

 journey. 



The Arnold Arboretum is now the 

 Mecca for many visitors, the display of 

 ornamental mains being at its best.

 matoes this season.

 lecture at the next club meeting in
