Sewickley district. As prearranged, 

 George Wessenauer and his committee 

 met the 9:20 train from the city and 

 escorted the visitors to Wessenauer 's, 

 the Florist. Shortly afterward fourteen 

 automobiles, carrying seventy-five en- 

 thusiastic gardeners, with Messrs. 

 Thompson and Curren on a motorcycle 

 in the vanguard, set out for the acres 

 of H. E. Ree, the first of the many 

 estates to be visited. After everybody 

 had admired the Italian gardeii and the 

 beautiful ornamentals, the party pro- 

 ceeded by auto to Franklin Farms, then 

 the estates of J. Stewart BroWn, Mrs. 

 W. Thaw, Henry Lee Mason, Jr., and 

 Mrs. Elizabeth Home. At the Home 

 place, where M. Curren is gardener, the 

 crowd was treated to refreshments. At 

 this point Neil McCallum, at the behest 

 of the president, spoke of the coming

 bivouacked and partook of more re- 

 freshments. T. P. Langhans introduced 

 William Allen, of the Homewood ceme- 

 tery, who spoke further on the June 

 show. After Mr. Allen's speech a vote 

 of thanks was tendered to all who were 

 connected with the day's entertainment 

 and- the secretary was instructed to 

 write to the proprietors of the places 

 visited, thanking them i6r tte cour- 

 tesy. The J. B. Oliver grounds were 

 visited last, from which place each 

 member of the party followed his own

Various Notes. 



All who employ laborers, and espe- 

 cially florists, will begin to find some re- 

 lief in the labor question, as the am- 

 munition factories are completing their 

 orders and dropping hundreds of men, 

 many of whom are already accepting 

 jobs that cannot pay more than half 

 the money they have been receiving.
