Dean of Florists Recalls Years With Easter Flowers By GAY PAULEY UPI Women's Editor New York -flJPD- The Easter season stirs many happy mem ories for Ed McCarthy, who grew up with flowers the way some kids grow up with base ball. "Why, I can remember," said McCarthy, 76, "when we would decorate as many as 50 churches for Easter services. Easter has been the florists' busiest season since I can re member. I think people feel impelled to send flowers be cause they're so happy win ter's over. "From Easter," said McCar thy, "we went right into the bridal season. Weddings start ed when Lent ended. "We used to put as many as 250 lilies of the valley, each stemmed separately, into a bridal bouquet. No bride groom orders anything that size anymore . . . today, any way, it would cost him $150." McCarthy, generally consi dered the dean of New York florists, was an apprentice in his father's flower shop by the time he was 11. The shop was the first in Brooklyn, and would still be operating - if New York City had not con demned the entire area to make way for a building de velopment. "I decided to retire instead of looking for a new loca tion," said McCarthy. The florist now confines his horti culture to growing plants in his Brooklyn apartment and in his mother-in-law's back yard in Flatbush. McCarthy for more than six decades furnished flowers Baking, Broiling Topic of Bulletin Issued by Service Corvallis-Looking for ways to turn out more attractive baked dishes? Shopping for new "broiler" menus? A new Oregon State uni versity extension service pub lication "Better Baking and Broiling" is now available, free on request, at county ex tension offices. Miss Bernice Strawn, OSU extension home management specialist and bulletin author, points out that although pre pared mixes and convenience foods have captured a hold in family menus, cooks are still not faced with 100 per cent foolproof baking. Oregon shoppers in some areas have a choice of 100 to 140 different mixes. Four times as many cake mixes are sold today as 10 years ago, she continues, with devil's food being a number one faV' orite in the West. Mixes eliminate guesswork In measuring and selecting in gredients, but the cook still needs to use recommencVd baking pans suggested In the bulletin. Miss Strawn suggests easy ways to clean the oven uses for the broiler, and auto matlc oven time control.
