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





seated brought forth an exclamation of 

 admiration from him. The center was 

 banked with huge golden chrysanthe- 

 mums and the cover was strewn with 

 choice grapes, a gift from the grape 

 growers of the state, arranged by Peli- 

 can©, Rossi & Co. Smaller tables were 

 decorated with beautiful specimens of 

 Golden West dahlias. Among the hun- 

 dreds of floral gifts to the king and 

 queen was a handsome basket of 

 orchids of several varieties, combined 

 with Russell rose buds. The Warren 

 Sisters, well known local decorators, 

 had charge of the luncheon for the 

 queen, which was held on the same day 

 at the Hotel St. Francis, A striking 

 effect was achieved with dahlias in reds 

 and yellows of the Belgian flag. These 

 were used entirely without greens and 

 were arranged in black baskets, carry- 



ing out the third color of the flag. In 

 the afternoon a reception was held at 

 the Palace hotel. Decorations for this 

 affair were done by Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi. Chrysanthemums were the 

 choice and a dignified arrangement of 

 the various sizes and colors made a most 

 successful decorative scheme. This 

 firm also made up a great many baskets, 

 principally of orchids and choice roses, 

 individual gifts from various San Fran- 

 ciscans. 



Robert Newcomb left San Francisco 

 last week on his way to the east. He 

 intends taking the northern route and 

 calling on the trade in Portland and 

 Seattle. 



Nursery stock for retail consumption 

 is gradually getting into shape for the 

 fall and winter plantings, and while the 

 small plants are limited just now to a 



few of the hardy winter-flowering va- 

 rieties and hardy perennials, the sales 

 are reported to be fairly brisk. A num- 

 ber of local firms are working in shrubs 

 in order to have them ready for the 

 market as soon as the first winter rain 

 falls. 



The main seller at present, of course, 

 is bulbs of all kinds, and while the new 

 imported stock is slow in arriving, local 

 bulbs are going well, and it is expected 

 that dealers will make a clean sweep of 

 their stock this year. 



G. Wagner, one of the members of 

 Joseph's staff, is back after an ex- 

 tended vacation, Mr. Wagner stated 

 that he thoroughly enjoyed his rest and 

 saw a large portion of the country. He 

 visited all through the northwest and 

 journeyed as far east as Chicago. A par- 

 ticularly effective basket which was
