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.
