flhow up well at the shops and meet a 

 good demand. His rambler roses are 

 quite an attraction, though he has sent 

 in no large ones as yet. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. now is 

 conducting the Fairmont Floral Co., of 

 which it recently acquired control, un- 

 der its own name. A number of im- 

 provements are being made in the store, 

 including the construction of a mez- 

 zanine floor in the rear and some at- 

 tractive decorative features. A formal 

 opening will be held April 18, "ten 

 years after" the big fire. It is ex- 

 pected that the store decorations for 

 this occasion will surpass anything of 

 the kind ever shown in San Francisco. 

 The display already includes many ex- 

 amples of the company's finest stock, 

 such as Pink Pearl rhododendrons and 

 choice selections of a cut from 14,000 

 Phakenopsis Schilleriana plants. F. C. 

 Jaeger remains as manager of the store. 

 Frank H. Forrest, formerly of the old 

 California Florist Shop, in the St. 

 Francis hotel, is taking charge of the 

 window decoration and looking after 

 the front of the store. Ernest Stover, 

 formerly with the Hannon shop, on Polk 

 street, is a new member of the force. 



A notable social decoration recently 

 was executed by A. O. Stein for the 

 ball to celebrate the debut of Miss 

 Margaret Koshland, at the family home 

 on Washington street. All decorations 

 were designed to harmonize with the 

 setting, which was modeled after the 

 style of the Petit Trianon. The affair 

 included an early dinner to 124 guests 

 and a midnight supper for 144. The 

 general decoration consisted of garlands 

 ard wreaths in the French style, of 

 flowers in pastel shades, intertwined 

 with electric lights and covered with 

 butterflies. The tables were covered 

 with blue satin in three shades and 

 pink chiffon, delicately garlanded with 

 baby roses of pink and blue chiffon. 

 The stock used included heather, rhodo- 

 dendron and azalea blooms, hyacinths 

 and roses. Several members of Mr. 

 Stein's force were kept busy for sev- 

 eral days on the job. 



M. Poss, who recently took over the 

 H. G. Hardy place at San Mateo, is 

 getting a good start, and is making 

 some extensive improvements to the 

 place, with a view to growing a good 

 deal of his own stock, as he under- 

 stands both ends of the business. He 

 now is setting out about an acre of 

 outside stock and has work well under 

 way on two greenhouses. S. H. Q.
