SAN FEANCISCO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 63.] 



a few days ago that measured about 

 six feet high and six feet wide, and had 

 300 sprays averaging two feet in 

 length, in fuU flower to the bottom. 



Frank T. Schlotzhauer, of the 

 Francis Floral Co., says business has 

 been particularly good since Easter. He 

 has been using the vacant store next 

 door to increase his display facilities. 



The Misses Eothschild and Cohn, who 

 operate as the Bellevue Florists, in 

 the Bellevue hotel building, anticipate 

 a good summer business. Already, they 

 say, many tourists from the east and 

 middle west, who were here during the 

 exposition last year, are beginning to 

 arrive for the summer, and this is 

 bound to help the florists. 



Pelicano, Bossi & Co. did much to 

 widen the observance of Mothers' day 

 in this vicinity. This year they sent 

 out a neat folder to customers, advo- 

 cating flowers for Mothers' day. 



As evidence of the strong appeal of 

 the sentiment of Mothers' day and 

 what a little publicity can do is the 

 following incident: About three months 

 ago, "K. C. B.," who writes Ye Towne 

 Gossip in one of the local daily papers, 

 made a mistake in announcing the 

 date of Mothers' day. The public re- 

 sponded so generously that florists had 

 an unusually large day's business. 



C. Kooyman brought in the first of 

 his greenhouse-grown gladioli last 

 week. He has about 10,000 Francis 

 King, America and Halley. 



The MacRorie-McLaren Co. has 

 moved its wholesale oflices to its retail 

 establishment on Powell street and will 

 shortly be comfortably settled in the 

 new place. Improvements are now be- 

 ing made in the packing room at the 

 rear of the store. 



The San Rafael Armory has been se- 

 lected as the flower show house during 

 the Marin Flower Pageant in San 

 Rafael, Cal., May 18 to 21. A flower 

 parade will be held May 20. 



The florists of Sacramento, Cal., par- 

 ticipated in the big celebration there 

 this week, commemorating the comple- 

 tion of a 3-mile concrete causeway, 

 uniting the east and west sides of 

 Sacramento valley. The carnival lasted 

 four days and an elaborate program 

 was carried out, a feature of which 

 was a floral parade.
