Cambridge, Mass. 



An appeal has been made by the 

 florists of the Pittsburgh district for 

 the privilege of using a full supply of 

 wagon mined coal, that is the peti- 

 tioners would secure their supply 

 from near-by mines and furnish the 

 trucks for hauling. D. W. Kuhn, the 

 local fuel administrator has taken up 

 the project with Dr. Garfield. 



.John Mitchell, manager of tlie Al- 

 pha Floral Co., reports a satisfactory 

 summer trade with good prospects 

 for the coming season. Mr. Mitchell 

 has lost four of his assistants who 

 have gone over seas, but has his :orce 

 again satisfactorily filled. One of his 

 designers, George Nixon, has been 

 spending his vacation in Cleveland, O. 



Pittsburgh florists are all feeling 

 optimistic over the prospects for au- 

 tumn business. Randolph & McClem- 

 ents are renovating their shoj] in an- 

 ticipation of a brisk trade. Their 

 shop on Penn avenue, erected a 

 couple of years ago, one of the most 

 artistic in the East End, is beins re- 

 decorated in white with touches of 

 willow green.
