SAN FRANCISCO. 



San Francisco and surrounding towns 

 were visited recently by a very severe 

 wind and rain storm tliat played havoc 

 with trees, plants and greenhouse prop- 

 erty. March came in like a lion, the wind 

 swept along at a great rate, blowing the 

 face off everybody, including the town 

 clock. As a result business has suffered 

 to some extent. Some of the stores have 

 been very busy with funeral work, the 

 great standby of the business. 



A few big weddings have taken place 

 the past week, the leader being the Hop- 

 kins affair. Jones, on Sutter street, 

 had charge of the decorations and turned 

 out many beautiful arrangements. Store 

 windows the past week have been very 

 gay with a plentiful supply of tulips and 

 hyacinths in various colors. The continu- 

 ing rains are beginning to effect the color 

 of violets, those now coming in being 

 very much faded. 



E. W. McLellan is cutting some of the 

 finest Lawsous seen in this market for a 

 long time. 



Mr. Erick Erickson, lately with the 

 Geo. Wittbold Co., Chicago, has secured 

 a position with the Eealty Syndicate, 

 Oakland, Ca!. When Mr. Erickson left 

 Chicago he promised to be gone about 

 six months. His Chicago friends ought 

 to hear him talking now. I am willing 

 to wager he is liere for good, and to use 

 his own words, ' ' A hae van good yob, ' ' 

 is proof that he is satisfied. 



Mr. William Wallace Saunders, the 

 bulb specialist, was maiTied to Miss Jes- 

 sie B. Emery February 14. Mr. Saund- 

 ers had made many plans for his wed- 

 ding day, but luck seemed to be against 

 him. In the first place early on the 

 morning of his marriage he rented a cozy 

 cottage up town, this he thought was 

 furnished and in it he intended the 

 ceremony should be performed. But to- 

 ward the afternoon Mr. S. visited the 

 house and to his dismay found it with- 

 out furniture of any kind. He sought 

 the counsel of his friends and a wagon 

 was started out on a collecting tri]), and 

 liy contributions from a number of his 

 friends the cottage was furnished by 

 dark and decorated for the wedding. The

guests arrived — so did the minister, and 

 it was time for Saunders to claim his 

 bride. The minister asked for the mar- 

 riage license and then for the first time 

 Saunders remembered he had forgotten 

 the important document. He bolted 

 from the room without a word of expla- 

 nation; only the bride and minister knew 

 why he had gone. Saunders went to hunt 

 upthe county clerk. It was nearly mid- 

 night when he returned to complete the 

 wedding ceremony. In the meantime the 

 guests had not been told what the trouble 

 was and many thought he had run away. 

 At the wedding supper explanations were 

 made, wliilc Saunders yawned. The flor- 

 ists who did not attend the wedding of 

 Mr. W. W. Saunders missed a pantomime.
