July 24. 1919. 



city. She has been visiting in both San 

 Francisco and Oakland, Cal. 



Julius Baer, a well known retailer of 

 Cincinnati, O., arrived hero last week on 

 a round of the leading cities of the Pa- 

 cific coast. Mr. Baer was a delegate to 

 the recent Eotary Club convention in 

 Salt Lake City and intends finishing up 

 his trip by a jaunt through the north- 

 west and then home via the Canadian 

 Pacific route. He is accompanied by 

 • Mrs. Baer. 



Ed Wagner, of Alameda, Cal., identi- 

 fied with the trade as a producer of fine 

 bulbs, is busy getting his stock in con- 

 dition for the coming season. At pres- 

 ent he is sending in some early gladiolus 

 bulbs. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is more than 

 doubling the quantity of freesia bulbs 

 this year in anticipation of a big de- 

 mand for early spring flowers. The 

 price of freesia stock is almost twice as 

 high as during previous seasons, Henry 

 Avansino, manager of the Bush street 

 depot, reported a fair amount of ship- 

 ping. He expects to be kept busy sup- 

 plying the growing demand for deliver- 

 ies to various points both in and out 

 of the State and has already shipped a 

 number of early chrysanthemums and a 

 few of the first asters of the season. 



Domoto Bros, reported business as 

 usual. They are getting ready for a 

 busy shipping season. Some of the first 

 cuts of a new pink baby rose, grown at 

 the Domoto nurseries, arrived at the 

 Bush street market last week. The 

 bloom closely resembles Cecile Brunner, 

 but is a more intense pink with a 

 slightly smaller bud. 



Miss J. Stanley, of Enomoto & Co., is 

 getting ready for her annual vacation. 

 She expects to leave for a two weeks' 

 rest shortly, taking advantage of the 

 lull in business. 



The MaeRorie-McLaren Co. is keep- 

 ing the nursery force busy with replant- 

 ing for winter cut flowers. Many new 

 contracts have been closed for land- 

 scape gardening, due to the number of 

 new homes which are going up both in 

 the city and on the peninsula. 



Carl Matraia, formerly associated 

 with Podesta & Baldocchi, who of late 

 has retired from active connection with 

 the trade, is enjoying a vacation at 

 Lake Tahoe. 



Angelo J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & 

 Co., is back from an extended vacation, 

 Mr, Rossi had a good rest and says he is 

 feeling fit to continue his duties. J. 

 Keegan, of this firm, has also returned 

 from his annual outing, spent in the 

 southern part of the state. F. Thatcher, 

 another member of the Pelicano, Rossi 

 force, is sojourning at Gold Lake in the 

 upper Feather river country. He has 

 promised to supply all his friends with 

 a sufficiency of game while away.

J. B. Avansino, of Avansino Bros., 

 the Geary street florists, is still another 

 member of the trade who is enjoying 

 the simple life, far away from paved 

 streets and greenhouse flowers. He is 

 motoring through Lake and Sonoma 

 counties and expects to be away several 

 weeks. 



Among those who are planning vaca- 

 tion trips for the near future is V. L. 

 Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, who 

 expects to take a long motor tour 

 through the state, accompanied by his 

 family. 



A Chinese chest, strikingly decorated 

 in tones of orange, formed the keynote 

 of a floral display in Joseph's windows 

 last week. It attracted much attention. 

 In the chest was arranged a mass of in- 

 tensely blue hydrangeas, summer lilac 

 and fire-pokers, a color combination ex- 

 ceptionally stunning. Flanking this 

 was a second box, also of Chinese origin, 



decorated with a painted motif of lotus 

 blooms on a dark green background. 

 This chest was partly opened, disclosing 

 a choice selection of purple and white 

 lotus blooms, Robert Bernadean, one 

 of the decorators on Joseph's staff, is 

 spending a two weeks' vaoation at one 

 of the California resorts. 



Business at F. C. Jaeger & Bon's was 

 good, taking into consideration the sea- 

 son. A pall entirely of Bussell roses
