In the accompanying picture and 

 the frontispiece of this issue, we pre- 

 sent interesting views of one of San 

 Francisco's leading florist stores as 

 decorated for Convention week in 

 honor of the visit of the Society of 

 American Florists. This was by the 

 Art Floral Company at its Powell 

 street shoj) and was one of the most 

 notable displays made for the occasion. 

 The sides of the store, which do not 

 appear in the pictures shown were 

 lined with lattice work with two pan- 

 els set in on each side. In each panel 

 was the figure of a girl carrying a bou- 

 quet, iiainted on heavy cardboard and 

 set against a background of ferns, with 

 16 electric lights illuminating each 



from behind the edge of the panel. 

 The first figure was a bride carrying 

 pUalaenopsis and the frame of the lat- 

 tice around her panel was adorned 

 with white hydrangeas. Next came 

 tile bridesmaid carrying a bouquet of 

 Ophelia roses, with roses of the same 

 kind used around the panel. On the 

 opposite side was the Seuorita, 

 dressed in yellow, carrying Ward 

 roses, with yellow chrysanthemums 

 forming the panel decoration. The 

 other figure was the Corsage girl. She 

 carried nn appropriate bouquet of or- 

 chids, and rubrum lilies were used to 

 good advantage around her panel. The 

 general effect was very striking and 

 was the subject of much favorable and 

 well merited comment.
