 partment he wanted to serve in. 



Albert O. Stein was extremely busy 

 with the fashion show at the Palace 

 hotel. His force made all the brides' 

 and other bouquets. The beginning of 

 dinner dances at the Fairmont hotel is 

 bringing Mr. Stein many table decora- 

 tions. 



William Scanlon has left the employ 

 of Albert O. Stein to enlist in the med- 

 ical corps of the army. He is stationed 

 at Angel Island. 



r. C. Jaeger, of F. C. Jaeger & Son, 

 says business has been good at his store 

 on Powell street, despite the street car 

 strike, which undoubtedly has inter- 

 fered with trade, especially in the 

 evenings.

 ing regularly Tuesday evenings and the 

 attendance is increasing steadily. 



Frank Pelicano is experiencing suc- 

 cess with shipments of his Adijintum 

 Pelicanii to Chicago. This is the first 

 year that the supply has been suffi- 

 ciently large to justify out-of-town 

 shipment.

 cut of orchids; also unusually fine gar- 

 denias. Both lines are comparatively 

 new with them, but they are having fine 

 results. 



Orchids arriving from J. A. Carbone's 

 place at Berkeley are plentiful and 

 leave nothing to he desired in quality.

 violets, too. 



J. Dieterich, of Los Angeles, paid his 

 respects to San Francisco friends a few 

 days ago. 



A. F. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldoc- 

 chi, says the increased supply of good 

 orchids, gardenias and valley, together 

 with the splendid offerings of chrysan- 

 themums, has greatly improved market 

 conditions.

Clear, warm weatlier continues, caus- 

 ing flowers to bloom outdoors. Conse- 

 quently there is little business for the 

 retailers. Roses and carnations are 

 plentiful, the price of carnations hav- 

 ing dropped to $2 per hundred. Local 

 chrysanthemums are poor, but consider- 

 able stock is shipped in from Califor- 

 nia. Pompons are more plentiful, but 

 as yet are not having a large sale. The 

 hardy asters are popular. Dahlias are 

 now in their prime and until frost 

 comes will occupy considerable space 

 in the retail stores.
