greenhouses of Frank McGowan at SOS 

 Sunset avenue and will hereafter con- 

 duct them, doing both a wholesale and 

 retail florist business. About 20,u00 

 feet of glass cover the greenhouses. 

 Both Mr. Williams and Mr. WeiJer 

 have had experience in the florist busi- 

 ness, having been connected with A. & 

 J. Williams, florists for a number of 

 years. They are energetic, hustling 

 young men and deserve to succeed. 



AN EASTER BASKET. 



Pittsburgh, Pa. — O. J. Parker, of 

 Scobie & Parker, is anticipating his 

 annual visit to his son, O. J. Parker, of 

 Los Angeles, Cal., during the summer. 



Ralph Franklin Pinner, who has 

 charge of the landscape department 

 for the A. W. Smith Company, is de- 

 signing and laying out 20 acres of the 

 700-acre estate of James Ward, Jr., in 

 the Fifteenth ward; and tlie estate of 

 James E. Hindman, of East Wilkins- 

 burg, and George Wittnier, Jr., of

Manchester, Mass. — James Satter, 

 for the past fourteen years gardener 

 to Mr. Philip Dexter, has been appoint- 

 ed instructor in vegetable growing at 

 the Essex Co. Mass. Agricultural 

 School. Members of the North Shore 

 Horticultural Society gave him a pleas- 

 ant surprise party on the evening of 

 March 30, presenting him with a hand- 

 some clock as a token of their esteem 

 and a memento of their friendship for 

 him. The good wishes of the entire 

 community go with him to his new 

 home. W. T. 



Braintree, Mass. — The mystery of 

 the disappearance of Carl Waldecker, 

 of the firm of Waldecker Brothers, 

 florists, a few days ago, who had not 

 been heard from since last July, was 

 cleared up when his brother, Herman 

 Waldecker, received a letter from him 

 stating that he is with the 14th Ger- 

 man Army Corps, and for five months 

 past has been in Arras. France, living 

 most of the time in trenches nine feet 

 underground. Waldecker is not an 

 American citizen, and he makes no 

 complaint of being forced into military 

 service. He expresses the hope of be- 

 ing able to return to Braintree when 

 the war is over. 



Bridgeport, Conn. — Sunday was ex- 

 pected to be a record-breaking day. It 

 was, but not in the manner expected. 

 Instead of delivering flowers and 

 plants under ideal Raster conditions, 

 they had to be sent to their owners 

 under the same conditions that prevail 

 at Christmas. Automobiles had to be 

 heated for their conveyance. John 

 Reck & Son state that they suffered 

 the loss of many hundreds of dollars 

 through the weather. Seven automo- 

 biles delivering flowers Iiad to be 

 towed in, one of them injured through 

 an accident, and one of the horses was 

 hurt. Subsequently all the horses had 

 to be called in.
