SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 69.] 



Frank Pelicano has half an acre of 

 violets at Colma. He expects a fine 

 crop about November. 



The California Seed Co. has main- 

 tained a dahlia show at its store on 

 Market street for the last five weeks. 

 It was a big success, attracting the 

 largest crowds that ever visited the 

 store in the summer time. Walter Eeu- 

 bold trims the windows at this estab- 

 lishment and he has been using the 

 space to excellent advantage supple- 

 menting the dahlia show inside. 



The Floral City Nursery Co., which 

 is engaged in the retail business at 

 Poplar and Ellsworth avenue, San Ma- 

 teo, is now growing most of its own 

 stock., M. Poss, the proprietor, is 

 building up the business in good shape. 

 He has a house of roses, containing 

 1,000 plants, and several other houses. 



N. Peterson, of Menlo Park, will be- 

 gin to cut new carnations in about two 

 weeks. His stock looks fine, everything 

 being benched in good shape. He re- 

 cently finished the erection of a num- 

 ber of houses. 



D. Raymond, of the Garden City Pot- 

 tery Co., made a short trip to Sacra- 

 mento last week. 



Domoto Bros, are starting to ship a 

 good many chrysanthemums. They ex- 

 pect to be sending out large shipments 

 by the middle of the month. 



M. H. Ebel, of Sacramento, Cal., was 

 a recent visitor to the local trade. 



J. C. Craig, of Chicago, has been 

 spending a few days here, after a trip 

 through the northwest. He says he finds 

 about the same market troubles here as 

 prevail in the east. 



Gardner Dailey, landscape architect 

 with the MacRorie-McLaren Co., has re- 

 turned from an extended orchid-collect- 

 ing trip to Central America. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is building 

 three houses, each 48x300 feet. These 

 houses were planned according to the 

 company's own ideas and other green- 

 housemen have inspected and approved 

 the new features. The new houses will 

 be devoted principally to Russell roses, 

 which are grown extensively by this 

 concern. The company has twelve 

 houses of Russell roses and expects a 

 heavy crop of these, as well as of Beau- 

 ties, for Christmas. Manager Axell says 

 that all the roses have improved during 

 the last week or two. Hoosier Beauty, 

 he says, has proven a fine summer rose. 

 Hadley, on the other hand, is more im- 

 portant in the winter season. Mr. Axell

 Gentlemen: . 



We have just gone through the worst West Indian hurricane which ever struck 

 this part of the country. The wind attained a velocity of more than 90 miles an 

 hour, wrecking residences, all the water front of the city and every ship in the 

 harbor. 



Our greenhouses, which we bought from you two years ago, stand in one of the 

 most exposed portions of the city. The storm wrecked some two story residences 

 within one block of us, but am happy to state that our greenhouses are standing 

 with no loss whate^er, exfcept eleven boxes of glass. There was practically no dam- 

 age to the stock inside. Hoping this will interest you, we remain, 



Sincerely yours,
