SAN FEANCISOO NOTES. 



[Continued from page 89.] 



recently on his way home from the 

 Orient. 



Mr. Eowe, well known landscape gar- 

 dener of Santa Barbara, Cal., was a 

 recent visitor. 



S. Murata & Co., of Los Angeles, 

 have sent in large inquiries for roses to 

 the San Francisco market. 



Domoto Bros, have a nice cut of For- 

 mosa lilies and report a strong demand; 

 also plenty of business in pot stock, 

 cyclamens, cinerarias, azaleas, etc. 



C. Kooyman has changed the arrange- 

 ment of his new store, so that his stock 

 shows to much better advantage. The 

 window extends back several feet on 

 one side of the store and he has made 

 provision to show flowers on that side 

 and supplies on the other. 



Senator Eigdon, of San Luis Obispo, 

 has introduced a bill in the legislature, 

 which seeks to establish the office of 

 seed commissioner under the jurisdic- 

 tion of the State Horticultural Commis- 

 sioner at a salary of $2,400 a year. It 

 •would be the duty of the new officer to 

 establish a standard of purity of seeds 

 for agricultural purposes. 



Alfred T. Christenson, Berkeley gar- 

 dener, died at the Cottage hospital in 

 San Rafael, January 22, from injuries 

 sustained the night before in Mill Val- 

 ley, when an interurban train severed 

 both of his legs at the knees. 



Manager Picetti, of the flower and 

 plant stand in the Emporium, which is 

 operated by C. Navlet & Co., of San 

 Jose, says his force is rushed, as every- 

 body seems to be starting to plant roses 

 and general nursery stock. 



The Misses Hannon report business 

 good at their store on Sutter street and 

 stock better than it was a week ago. 



In speaking of his experiences with 

 street competition, a florist whose shop 

 IS in a locality particularlv favorable 

 to Street vending remarked that fre- 

 quently women buy flowers from the 

 stands at the corner and then bring 

 them in to him to make over and add a 

 few first-class blooms or some fresh 

 foliage. Sometimes they go farther than 

 that, too. They buy violets from the 

 street men and come into his place for 

 a pin to pin them on with. 



Mr. Stappenbeck, the American Flo- 

 rist, on Polk street, says he has had 

 plenty of first-class roses all season for 

 his own use. Wild buttercups have been 

 shown at this store since before Christ- 

 mas. Some wild irises have been re- 

 ceived also. 



As the result of a recent visit to San 

 Francisco from New York officials of 

 the American Express Co., local flower 

 shippers are hopeful of getting a lower 

 rate on all eastern shipments of Cali- 

 fornia flowers, greens, etc. This, it is 

 claimed, would have considerable influ- 

 ence in making toward a wider distribu- 

 tion of flowers from this state 



S. H. G. 



Dajrton, O.— William Hardert has 

 leased the greenhouse formerly conduct- 

 ed by Mrs. E. M. Phebus, on rural route 

 No. 14. 



Portland, Ind. — Ophelia, Iloosier 

 Beauty and Killarney Brilliant roses, 

 grown "hy W. Frank' & Son, won the 

 Indiana silver rose trophy awarded at 

 the recent Indianapolis meeting and 

 exhibition of the State Florists' Asso- 

 ciation. The Portland men have car- 

 ried off the prize for three consecutive 

 years. 



DOU 



THIS illustration shows 

 you how the column 

 rafter and truss are all bolted 

 together. 



Note that word bolted. 



We do not trust to set 

 screws or clamps to hold. 

 Everything is bolted fast, 

 even to the column cap being 

 bolted through and through 

 the pipe. 



Now notice how all the 

 members carry either double 

 bolts or double pairs of bolts. 



Particularly notice that 

 the truss is a double angle 



Hitckities

iron, bolted to and on both 

 sidesof the rafter splice plate. 



Observe in what a mechan- 

 ically perfect way the splice 

 plate is used as a joiner for 

 all the members brought to- 

 gether at this point. 



Following then, as we do, 

 this same mechanical thor- 

 oughness in the entire con- 

 struction, you can well under- 

 stand why our houses have 

 the reputation tHey have. 



You know we go anywhere 

 for business. Or to talk 

 business.
