own well, both at the store in Powell 

 street and the Palace hotel stand. He 

 is getting an excellent cut of heather 

 from the company's Lake Merced nurs- 

 ery and is also supplied with plenty of 

 fine cyclamens and primulas. In view 

 of the general shortage of Easter lilies, 

 Mr. Bertrand is much gratified over the 

 MacBorie-McLaren Co. having an ample 

 supply in sight for the holiday. 



Mrs. Copeland, who conducts the Han- 

 non Sisters' place on Sutter street, 

 notes a marked increase in social work, 

 indicating a good deal of entertaining 

 during the pre-Lenten period. Several 

 good-sized wedding decorations have 

 helped out well in the last two or three 

 weeks. 



A. Cuneo, designer for the Art Floral 

 Co., reports a good many nice decora- 

 tions of late, and says store trade leaves 

 no ground for complaint. 



Avansino Bros, expect to have a fine 

 cut of daffodils again in a week or ten 

 days. At the store on Geary street the 

 sales for February showed a good in- 

 crease over the same month last year. 



While there was no special activity 

 in business last week, B. M. Joseph 

 finds that each day's sales have totaled 

 up to a satisfactory figure, the demand 

 being quite evenly divided among fu- 

 neral work, table decorations and store 

 trade. 



Mrs. Eoberts, of the J. B. Boland 

 store, says February was a fairly good 

 month all around. M. M.

The Market. 



Owing to the dark and rainy weather 

 last week, stock has been kept down to 

 a normal supply. Some of the florists 

 report a shortage of certain lines, but, 

 taking everything into account, the de- 

 mand is about equal to the supply and 

 business has been good. The Eotary 

 Club convention and the automobile 

 show have stimulated business to an ap- 

 preciable extent. The florists all seem 

 to be optimistic and are looking for- 

 ward to excellent business this spring. 



Vaxious Notes. 



Lawrence M. Johnson, with the 2d 

 Artillery, recently returned from the 

 war zone. He is now back in his former 

 business of making all kinds of wire 

 novelties and floral designs. 



Hans Niklas was in the Sound cities 

 for a few days last week, on business 

 and pleasure. 



C. P. Kipp, of the Spokane Florist 

 Co., is in town attending the interna- 

 tional convention of the Eotary Club. 



Max Smith says that the Eotary Club 

 convention has brought him an unusual 

 amount of business. He secured the 

 work of decorating the Auditorium and 

 the Benson hotel. 



The Wilson-Crout-Gehr Co. has put in 

 a full line of florists' supplies. There 

 is no reason why the company should 

 not do well in that line. L. T. S.
