 ality and unfailing courtesy to all, has 

 made a great many friends, all of whom 

 will be glad to congratulate her and 

 wish her the best of success in her en-

Oscar Schneider is again at his post

 recovered from his late illness, but stick- 

 ing to duty grimly. 



Anything that adds to the gayety of 

 nations or individuals is useful in these 

 days, and it was surely amusing to see 

 J. Dieterich and his robust friend try- 

 ing to back up a Ford ear which was 

 balking like Si's mule. By running it 

 around a block, it was persuaded to en-

The Market. 



There has been little change in the 

 local market since the last report. The 

 shipping demand continues brisk and 

 what flowers remain after out-of-town 

 orders are filled clean up easily, as a 

 result of the heavy requirements of the 

 local retailers for funeral work. The 

 rush is beginning to tell upon both 

 wholesalers and retailers. To cope with 

 the abnormal demand has required con- 

 tinuous effort for the last ten days, in- 

 cluding much night work, and every- 

 body IS beginning to look forward to 

 the return of normal conditions, al- 

 though it will mean less business. Al- 

 though the San Francisco health de-

partment reports the epidemic of Span- 

 ish influenza under control, providing 

 there is no let-up in the precautions 

 taken against its spread, the death rate 

 continues comparatively high and the 

 florists have about all the funeral work 

 they can handle. Several of the old- 

 timers in the business claim they never 

 before saw so many floral pieces turned 

 out by the local trade in one week as 

 have been made in the last week. 



The large supply of chrysanthemums 

 and pompons has been welcome, as these 

 flowers work up easily and a big show- 

 ing can be made on a small amount of 

 money and with less work. There have 

 been some complaints on the part of 

 local buyers that out-of-town orders 

 have been given the preference over 

 home needs. It is claimed that the bulk

 local florists to use ypHow varieties ex- 

 tensively for funeral work, which has 

 not been done here in previous years. 

 The chrysanthemum season is on the

 as a profitable one for all branches of 

 the business. The big fancy varieties
