ROCHESTER, N. Y. 

 George Boucher is making a spe- 

 cialty of stone garden ware, vases, 

 urns, seats and bird baths and is fill- 

 ing them with plants and boxtrees. 



Brown the Florist, who has a store 

 in Utica, N. Y., and for some time 

 past has been running a stand at the 

 Eggleston Hotel in this city, has sold 

 the fixtures, etc., to Peter Pappas. 



Private B. Pemberton, formerly 

 with the Wilson Floral Co., has left 

 Kodak Park, where he has been sta- 

 tioned for some time with the Aerial 

 Photography Division, for Rockwell 

 Field, San Diego, Cal., to complete 

 his training. 



Rochester florists, through the So- 

 ciety of American Florists and Orna- 

 mental Horticulturists, are pledged to 

 do their part to keep the hospitals in 

 the United States wherever there are 

 sick and wounded sailors and soldiers 

 supplied with fresh flowers. Many 

 florists in this city have keenly felt 

 the curtailment of purchases of flow- 

 ers, due principally to the rate of 

 economy that has swept across the 

 country. It is believed that next win- 

 ter many florists here will be com- 

 pelled to close their greenhouses be- 

 cause of the recent order restricting 

 the consumption of coal. The Na- 

 tional League for Women's Service 

 has indorsed the plan of the florists to 

 furnish flowers to the base hospitals. 

 The League characterizes the contri- 

 bution as a genuine gift to the cause 

 of Democracy.

Samuel Ball is now with the S. S.

George C. Shaffer has returned from 

 Atlantic City where the patrol of the 

 Shriners has been in session. 



"Lightless Nights" for florists and 

 other stores are in prospect, accord- 

 ing to an announcement of the United 

 States Fuel Administration. The Gov- 

 ernment is calling for all economies 

 possible, to offset the possible neces- 

 sity of a return of the so-called "Work- 

 less days." 



Following the recent action of the 

 United States Fuel Administration in 

 reducing the allowance of coal to flor- 

 ists by fifty per cent of their normal 

 requirements, the fuel administrator 

 for the District of Columbia has sent a 

 notice to all florists under his jurisdic- 

 tion, calling their attention to that 

 regulation and Informing them that 

 they win be unable to secure any coal 

 except upon special license from his 

 office.
