J. A. AXELL, 461 Bush St., San Francisco 



in Lick place and, since the death of 

 Mr. Boland, has been in charge of mem- 

 bers of his family, 



Julius Eppstein, at the St. Francis 

 hotel, furnished a large number of table 

 decorations for the special dinner- 

 dance held in the St. Francis hotel 

 September 9, to celebrate the return of 

 Art Hickman's orchestra from the east. 



The recent fashion show held at the 

 Palace hotel under the auspices of I. 

 Magnin & Co. was decorated by A. O. 

 Stein. The entire palm court of the 

 Palace hotel, in which the show was 

 staged, was decorated with chrysanthe- 

 mums in pastel shades, forming a most 

 effective color scheme and serving as a 

 delightful background for the hundreds 

 of beautiful gowns on exhibition. 

 Numerous tableaux were given, princi- 

 pal among which was a bridal group. 



The bride's bouquet, also donated and 

 arranged by Mr. Stein's shop, was a 

 lovely sheath of delicate, white ostrich 

 feathers and gardenias. The brides- 

 maids carried similar bouquets, made of 

 royal blue feathers and yellow butter- 

 fly orchids — a stunning combination, 

 which was particularly effective with 

 their frocks of yellow. 



Fred Bertrand, manager of the retail 

 shop of the MacRorie-McLaren Co., is 

 back after several days spent at the 

 annual land show at Fresno, Cal. Mr. 

 Bertrand was of course much interested 

 in the flower exhibit which was a part 

 of the land show. The principal prize- 

 winners were the San Francisco Floral 

 Co. and the firm of Rossi & Ferrari, of 

 San Francisco, both of which maintain 

 branches in that city. Rossi & Ferrari 



carried away nine blue ribbons and 

 fourteen reds, while the San Francisco 

 Floral Co. has eight blues and twentjr- 

 four reds to its credit. Mr. Bertrand 

 commented particularly upon the Rossi- 

 Ferrari orchid display and the general 

 display arranged by the San Francisco 

 Floral Co. The last named firm won 

 also first prizes on the best original flo- 

 ral design and the best corsage bouquet, 

 while the blue ribbon went to Boss! & 

 Ferrari for the best table decoration 

 and the best bride's bouquet. 



According to several florists of Oak- 

 land, Cal., the street-car strikes in that 

 city, which have tied up all rail traffic, 

 have affected the florists' trade to a con- 

 siderable extent. Deliveries have been 

 badly handicapped and shipping prac- 

 tically stopped. M. M.
