LOCAL AND GENERAL NEWS 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 



Robert L. McMackin, of the Oehm- 

 ler Floral Company, is confined to the 

 George Washington University Hospi- 

 tal, seriously ill with heart trouble. 



There is a move afoot in Washing- 

 ton to provide a fund with which to 

 purchase flowers for American sol- 

 diers confined in hospitals near the 

 battlefields in Europe. The start was 

 made by E. L. McCaslin. 



Adolph E. Gude, Jr., is now a lieu- 

 tenant in "the aviation section of the 

 Signal Corps, having completed his 

 course of training at Callfield, Tex. 

 Mr. Gude came home last week for a 

 brief visit, but has since returned to 

 the aviation camp in Texas. 



Bruce Griffin and Ralph E. Faust, 

 while in Washington last week, called 

 on Adolph Gude at the Anacostla 

 greenhouses to view the new carna- 

 tion which Mr. Gude has recently pro- 

 duced, a cross between Enchantress 

 and Mrs. C. W. Ward, It is a very 

 delicate shell pink and it is no exag- 

 geration to declare it to be without 

 equal in this section. 



ROCHESTER, N. Y. 



The opening of Seneca Park and 

 the accompanying Arbor day exer- 

 cises by school children were post- 

 poned until May 18 on accounjt of 

 lack of transportation facilities. 



James Whitmore, 35 years of age, 

 was fatally injured and two others 

 were slightly hurt Sunday morn- 

 ing. May 5th, when a touring car 

 crashed into a Ford delivery car 

 driven by Whitmore. Tlie machine 

 was owned by J. B. Keller Sons. 



NEW YORK. 



David Dean is now a counter sales- 

 man in the seed store of Weeber & 

 Don.

James Dean, the veteran florist, who 

 has been in poor health for some time, 

 at his home in Freeport, is reported 

 as being much better and able now to 

 get about a little. 



The store on West 28th street, re- 

 cently occupied by Beechwood .\urs- 

 eries on one side and by C. C. Trepel 

 on the other, has been vacated by 

 both these tenants. 



It would appear from widely dis- 

 seminated newspaper accounts that on 

 May 24, "Italy-America Day," the So- 

 ciety of American Florists would pro- 

 vide free boutfonieres for all who will 

 wear them in honor of Italy. A slight 

 misconception of the scope of the S. 

 A. F., no doubt, but we hope the flow- 

 ers will be forthcoming from some 

 source. There are plenty to spare in 

 this section.
