PITTSBURGH. 



John B. Straycr has just received a 

 letter from E. Clarke Styles, who is 

 now with the Engineers' Railroad Di- 

 vision In France. 



Friends have received postcards an- 

 nouncing the safe arrival of Edward 

 Earl Ludwig and Frank P. Smoller in 

 France last Saturday. 



Julius \V. Ludwig is sufficiently able 

 to return to the store having been con- 

 fined to hi.s home for the past week 

 with a sprained ankle. 



Anthony \V. Smith, Jr., was installed 

 president of the Rotary Club at its 

 weekly luncheon meeting last Wed- 

 nesday at the Fort Pitt Hotel. 



Barton \V. Elliott, the nineteen year 

 old and youngest son of Wilkinson El- 

 liott, has enlisted with the U. S. Ma- 

 rines and gone to Paris Island, S. C. 



The Zieger Company has just fin- 

 ished a contract including five hundred 

 porch boxes for Henry J. Heinz, the 

 Pickle King, of "Greenlawn," Penn 

 avenue. East End. 



The weekly luncheon of the Retail 

 Florists' Association last Tuesday at 

 the Seventh Avenue Hotel was fea- 

 tured by an address by Assistant Fuel

Charles Zimmerman has responded 

 to Uncle Sam's call by entering the 

 airplane manufacturing plant at 

 Springfield. Mass. Mr. Zimmerman's 

 former position as entry clerk for the 

 I. W. Scott Seed Company, is now 

 filled by William Willmon. 



Randolph & .McClements contributed 

 the beautiful floral decorations for the 

 Laughlin-Gould and Wurtz-Coley wed- 

 dings on last Saturday afternoon. In- 

 asmuch as both were military wed- 

 dings, the decorations were somewhat 

 less elaborate than had the civilian 

 features prevailed. 



Lexington, Ky. — J. P. M. Peterson 

 has purchased the greenhouse estab- 

 lishment of Kelley & Current. 562 

 Woodand avenue. 



PHILADELPHIA. 



Samuel S. Pennock, Jr., was vale- 

 dictorian at the graduating exercises 

 of the Penn Charter School on the 

 6th inst. 



P. Joseph Lyncli. the well-known 

 rose grower of Pennsylvania and In- 

 diana, is a candidate for secretary of 

 the Supreme Court of the latter state 

 and is highly indorsed by a host ol 

 prominent citizens. And a word to the 

 wise among the Hoosiers — he'll inaKe 

 a good one. 



Frank M. Koss had his auto stolen 

 from right in front of the Pennock 

 Co. store on the 8th inst. It was in 

 the midst of a line of half a dozen 

 other cars and inside of five minutes 

 it was gone. There seems to be an 

 organized gang of specialists in this 

 sort of tiling, and there is loud talk 

 around about many of the patrolmen 

 being "in cahoots!" No day passes 

 but dozens of such incidents are re- 

 ported. Doctors visiting patients 

 seem to be the worst sufferers. A 

 bright mind thought of training an 

 Ayrdale terrior to sit on the front seat 

 and bite the thief. We now see lots 

 of them on guard. Frank had better 

 get an Ayrdale. 



CHICAGO. 



Jas. G. Hancock has resigned his po- 

 sition with Frank Oechslin, where he 

 has had charge of the office for nearly 

 eleven years. 



W. N. Rudd says a recent letter 

 from his daughter in P'rance. says she 

 is safe and well, but that they have 

 had many experiences and hardships. 

 No sugar or butter has been on their 

 menu for the past six weeks. 



So little interest was taken in the 

 sale at public auction of the Thomp- 

 son Carnation Co.'s plant at Joliet, III., 

 June 1st, that the .sale was postponed 

 until June loth. The Thompson Car-

 spring. 



Morton J. Poehlmann, son of Mr. 

 and Mrs. Adolph Poehlmann, has re- 

 lurned from a successful year at the 

 Western .Military Academy and will 

 seek to acquire some practical business 

 experience in the store during the 

 vacation. 



Lieutenant Howard R. Smith, of 

 Newcastle. Ind., who lost his life by 

 accident in the service, had many 

 friends in Chicago. He was for some 

 time in the employ of O. C. Simonds & 

 Co., landscape gardeners at 1101 

 Buena avenue. 



.\ canvass of the wholesalers 

 brought the signatures of practically 

 all, to the petition to close the whole- 

 sale flower stores all day Sundays dur- 

 ing the summer. Saturday nights the 

 stores will remain open till 9 o'clock, 

 for the benefit of the retailers, who 

 can then lay in their Sunday stock. 



It was with extreme regret that the 

 Chicago florists learned of the death 

 of John J. Stiippy, of the Stuppy Floral 

 Co., St. Joseph. Mo., which took place 

 suddenly on June 1st. He was a 

 frequent visitor to the Chicago market 

 and the loss of so young a man, who 

 had scarcely yet reached his prime, is 

 a loss to the whole trade. 



The Chicago Flower Growers' Asso- 

 ciation has installed a system of in- 

 direct lighting which shows up their 

 stock to the best advantage, even on 

 the darkest days. The progressive 

 manager of this house fully realizes 

 the stimulating effect of a bright, 

 cheery salesroom on trade. It comes 

 next to efficient salesmen and the com- 

 bination is hard to beat.
