The Rorists' Review 



October 12, 1916. 



SAN FRANOISOO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 73.] 



given it was discovered that no one 

 had died there. They were brought 

 back to the store and were awaited 

 there by the engaging stranger, who 

 assuaged the growing fears of Mr. 

 Fregusi by telling him that he had said 

 Twenty-fifth avenue instead of Twenty- 

 fifth street. He ordered more flowers 

 and even went so far as to accompany 

 Mr. Fregusi on the wagon to show him 

 the right address. Before they reached 

 the destination, however, the stranger 

 excused himself at a corner saloon and 

 failed to appear again. After waiting 

 some little tltne Mr. Fregusi went in 

 search of his companion and was in- 

 formed that he had left by another 

 entrance. The florist reported to the 

 police that he was out about $75 on 

 the transaction. 



Mrs. E. E. Darbee, who has been con- 

 ducting her shipping business at 1036 

 Hyde street in conjunction with her 

 retail trade, has found those quarters 

 too small for both departments, and 

 has taken a store room at 39 St. Anne 

 Street, near the flower market and the 

 wholesale houses, for a shipping depot. 

 The room is 25x60 feet, providing am- 

 ple space for her stock of shipping 

 accessories, etc. With the increased 

 facilities, Mrs, Darbee plans- to go into 

 the shipping business more extensively 

 than ever before. 



Bichard Diener, who specializes in 

 unique varieties of carnations, dahlias, 

 gladioli, pansies, etc., at Kentfield, is 

 preparing five more acres for gladioli 

 and pansies. He already has eight acres 

 under cultivation and is making exten- 

 sive improvements for drainage and 

 irrigation. 



John Gill, nurseryman of Berkeley, 

 returned recently from a northern trip 

 and reports things looking fine in the 

 section he covered. He has a great 

 many rose plants and is starting an 

 active shipping season now. 



Pelicano, Bossi & Co. had a window 

 display of orchids a few days ago, it 

 being the first time in weeks that these 

 flowers were plentiful enough to permit 

 a display. Frank Thacher, who does 

 the window trimming at this store, says 

 they had been keeping their limited 

 supply of orchids out of sight in order 

 to keep down the demand as much as 

 possible. 



MacEorie & McLaren did the deco- 

 rating for an elaborate fashion show 

 held at the Palace hotel a few days 

 ago under the auspices of I. Magnin & 

 Co. A 50-foot hedge of primulas was 

 the principal feature. They also fur- 

 nished the bouquets for a bridal party, 

 which was a special feature of the 

 show. Apropos of the "Path of Gold" 

 celebration, an attractive window dis- 

 play was arranged at the store on 

 Powell street by F. H. Forrest. 



One of the most spectacular features 

 of the "Path of Gold" ball in the 

 Civic Auditorium on the evening of 

 October 5 was a pyramid of flowers 

 donated and made by the growers and 

 florists of this vicinity. F. C. Burns, 

 of San Eafael, contributed 25,000 

 dahlias on behalf of the California 

 Dahlia Growers' Association. 



A. J. Bossi, of Pelicano, Bossi & Co., 

 as chief of staff with the grand marshal 

 and his aid, led the illuminated parade 

 of the "Path, of Gold" celebration.
