 plant for the border.

 of the ftnest Pentstemons ever grqwn.

Various Notes. 



Among the special features arranged 

 by the Francis Floral Co. for Mothers' 

 day was an assortment of pastel ham- 

 pers, filled with flowers to harmonize 

 in color, and bowed up with ribbon in 

 a distinctive manner. Old-fashioned 

 bouquets were made up in large num- 

 bers for the occasion. Mr. Francis, for 

 the last ten or twelve years, has shipped 

 a great many, flowers each year to the 

 Bocky mountain section for Decoration 

 day and this year will be no exception, 

 judging from the inquiries and orders 

 already received. 



Fred C. Jaeger & Son are preparing 

 to lower the floors of their display win- 

 dows and otherwise remodel the front of 

 their store on Powell street. Mr. Jaeger 

 made extensive preparations for Moth- 

 ers' day. James Jordan is back on duty 

 at this establishment after a short va- 

 cation, which, unfortunately, he had to 

 spend taking care of members of his 

 family, who were ill. 



C. F. Gutting, of Los Angeles, Cal., 

 was a recent visitor here. He came by 

 motor. 



Luke Uzick, until recently with Julius 

 Eppstein at the St. Francis hotel, is now 

 buyer and manager for the J. B. Boland 

 business on Kearny street. He reports 

 stock plentiful and business up to ex* 

 pectations for this time of the year. 



Charles Shellgrain, of Shellgrain & 

 Bitter, has just recovered from a slight 

 attack of the "flu," which kept him at 

 home for three or four days. He says 

 the sale of cut flowers has been quiet 

 since Easter, but that decorations and 

 funeral work keep the force fairly busy. 



Eobert Maguire accepted a position 

 with B. M. Joseph when he was dis- 

 charged from the army. He was in the 

 aviation service overseas for eighteen 

 months and only recently returned to 

 this country. Another recent addition 

 to the Joseph staff is Miss M. de Ar- 

 mand, who has charge of the bookkeep- 

 ing and other office work. Here a big 

 demand is reported for small table deco- 

 rations and other decorative work. 



L. H. Elmer, of the Elmer Bros. Nurs- 

 ery, San Jose, Cal., was a recent visitor 

 in this city. 



V. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, 

 flnds there is a great deal of red 

 tape to unwind in getting a passport 

 for Europe, but he does not intend to 

 give up his proposed trip to Italy on 

 that account. It is his intention to sail 

 as soon as he can get passage. Business, 

 he says, leaves no ground for complaint.
