to Fort Leavenworth, Kan., where he is 

 recuperating from a cold which he con- 

 tracted before leaving the other side. 

 He hopes to be returned to San Fran- 

 cisco before many weeks. 



The monthly meeting of the Pacific 

 Coast Horticultural Society February 1 

 was well attended. The entire session 

 was given over to routine business mat- 

 ters. Lectures and other special features 

 probably will be resumed in another 

 month or two. 



' Walter Hoff, manager of the land- 

 scape department of the MacKorie- 

 McLaren Co., has just returned from a 

 trip in the Sacramento and San Joaquin 

 valleys. Nice heather is arriving at the 

 store in Powell street from the nursery 

 down the peninsula. 



Eobert Newcomb has been renewing 

 acquaintance in the trade here, haying 

 severed his connection with the Miller 

 Floral Co., of Salt Lake City, Ut., and 

 gone on the road for the Burlington 

 Willow Ware Shops, of Burlington, la. 

 He formerly made this territory for the 

 American Bulb Co. 



Mark Ebel, of Sacramento, Cal., was 

 in town a few days ago, accompanied by 

 Mrs. Ebel. 



Among the funeral orders of the last 

 week at B. M. Joseph's was an espe- 

 cially large one calling for several de- 

 signs and a pall of violets and f reesias. 



N. F. Baldocehi, of Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi, says funeral work has dropped 

 off noticeably, but that the call has in- 

 creased for flowers for other purposes, a 

 welcome change. 



Improvements in the wholesale cut 

 flower and supply establishment of the 

 C. Kooyman Co., Bush street, are pro- 

 gressing nicely. The owners of the 

 buUding are renovating the place thor- 

 oughly, the work to include replastering 

 the walls, the installation of a new store 

 front, a beam ceiling, lighting flxtures 

 and other modern features. Copper 

 screws will be inserted in the ceiling 

 beams at regular intervals, from which 

 the stock of baskets can be shown to 

 advantage. 



J. A. Axell, manager of the E. W. Mc- 

 Lellan Co., is much relieved to have 

 stock enough to fill orders in full again, 

 after being forced to prorate the supply 

 among the firm's customers for so long. 

 The company has a nice cut of roses and 

 is particularly well supplied with Bus- 

 sell. 



Enomoto & Co. have no complaints to 

 make about business, there being plenty 

 of flowers here now and a brisk demand. 



The United Flower & Supply Co. is 

 ^luch gratified over the large orders re- 

 '■eived for violets for St. Valentine's

Louis Picetti, manager of the new 

 store of the Charles C. Navlet Co., on 

 Market street, off First, reports good 

 results from the special rose-bush, shrub 

 and plant sale, which was inaugurated 

 January 27 and continued for two 

 weeks. The adjoining store, which was 

 used to accommodate overflow stock at 

 holiday time, has been utilized to good 

 advantage during the sale. Pleasing re- 

 sults have been obtained in the cut 

 flower department. There was a ques- 

 tion at first whether the location was 

 favorable for this class of trade, but 



any misgivings that might have been 

 entertained at that time have been dis- 

 pelled, according to Mr. Picetti, sales 

 having been gratifying from the start. 



Mrs. Boberts reports business well up 

 to expectations at the J. B. Poland stors 

 in Kearny street. 



The local trade has been notified that 

 W. K. Hawkins has purchased and taken 

 charge of the greenhouse interests of 

 B. S. Bassett, at Loomis, Cal.
