 offerings are gloxinias and cockscomb. 



Various Notes. 



B. M. Joseph used eighteen dozen 

 yellow chrysanthemums in a decoration 

 at the Cliff House August 14. Fred 

 Bertrand, manager of Joseph's, reports 

 a stronger demand for dahlias than in 

 former years. He has been unable to 

 fill all orchid orders of late. 



V. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, 

 lias no complaints to make about busi- 

 ness. Tliis firm is liandicapped more or 

 less by the shortage of orchids and the 

 limitod supply of valley. In order to 

 curtail the demand, these flowers are 

 kept out of sight at the store. 



J. B. Pagano has resumed his duties 

 with Pelicano, Rossi & Co. after a pleas- 

 ant vacation at Geyserville. A. J. Rossi 

 writes from Santa Barbara, Cal., that 

 he is convalescing nicely and will re- 

 turn liome in a short time. 



Mrs. David Liehtenstein, of the Ter- 

 minal Florists, reports much funeral 

 work and sufficient transient trade to 

 make business total up well for this 

 time of the year. 



A. J, Clarke came down from Port- 

 land, Ore., last week, accompanied by 

 Mrs. Clarke. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. is 

 doing AvcU with strawflovvers, especially 

 amarantus. The demand for chrysan- 

 tliemums leaves no ground for com- 

 l>laint, according to Mr. Onishi. 



Alark Ebel, of Sacramento, paid a 

 visit to the local trade last week and 

 reported business good in the capital 

 eity, notwithstanding the hot weather. 



Fxliibition space is being rapidly al- 

 lotted for the dahlia show, w^hich will 

 be held in the Palace hotel September 

 3 to 5. Arrangements have been made 

 for more than .^,000 running feet of 

 space to accommodate the display. 



Dahlias were exhibited at the monthly 

 meeting of the California State Floral

Society. Althougli a little early for 

 choice blooms, the display was excep- 

 tionally fine. The Jessie L. Seal gar- 

 dens furnished the largest exhibit, the 

 largest single bloom, Nora Lindsay, 

 measuring ten and one-fourth inches. 

 Dr. Tevis, originated by Frank I). Pel- 

 icano, attracted much attention. 



Miss Rothschild, of the BeUevue Flo- 

 rists, has returned from a two weeks' 

 vacation in the San Joaquin valley and 

 is glad to get back where the tempera- 

 ture is a little lower. Miss Bertha 

 Cohn, the other partner in the business, 

 will take a little rest before the busy 

 season gets well under way. They an- 

 ticipate an excellent fall and winter 

 trade. 



F. C. Jaeger & Son have acquired an 

 automobile delivery car. The body and 

 lettering of the car are distinctive in 

 style, making an attractive advertising 

 medium. Mr. Jaeger says business has

P. Vincent ^Matraia, of the Art Floral

 work has been keeping all hands busy 

 and counter trade has been good.
