SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



[Continued from pasre !)■<.] 

 Henry Avansino, of the E. W. Mc- 

 Lellan Co., reports heavy shipping of 

 mums of all varieties. 



J. A. Axell has added several as- 

 sistants to his force. The Ferrari stock 

 of roses, which Mr. Axell handles, is in 

 splendid condition. Victor Ferrari 

 states that he expects a large crop of 

 Russell about December 1. At present 

 he is cutting fine specimens of Colum- 

 bia, Ophelia and Russell. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee is shipping all she 

 can handle of mums and violets. She 

 is particularly pleased with her violet 

 crop this year. She has added several 

 new men to her force and improved de- 

 livery facilities by the addition of 

 two new drivers. The other new as- 

 sistants are Fred Ryer, Ernest Dapolli 

 and Gaston La Lance. Miss Leona 

 Gregoire, who has been connected with 

 the Darbee staff for some time, was 

 married October 25 to Peter Stamatis, 

 of this city. The wedding decoration 

 was done by the Darbee shop. 



A. O. Stein has a number of inter- 

 esting decorations for this week, includ- 

 ing an elaborate outdoor tea in Sacra- 

 mento for Mrs. McClatche and a home 

 wedding in this city. The scene of the 

 tea is Mrs. McClatche 's gardens and 

 gold umbrellas will shade the tables, 

 which are to be decorated with small 

 potted trees of pompons and garlands of 

 chrysanthemums in various golden 

 tones. The decorations for the Sahlcine- 

 Green wedding, scheduled for October 

 30, were carried out in a color scheme 

 of gold and green. The room in which 

 the ceremony was held was hedged in 

 cypress, with garlands and short medal- 

 lion drops of gold chrysanthemums. 

 The rest of tiie house decorations fol- 

 lowed the autumn color scheme, chrys- 

 anthemums in yellow and bronze pre- 

 dominating. The bouquets were sug- 

 gested by the Magnin group at the re- 

 cent fashion show at the Palace hotel. 

 The bride's bouquet was of white os- 

 trich in fan shape with white butterfly 

 orchids and gardenias, while the brides- 

 maids' bouquets were yellow butterfly 

 orchids mounted on a royal blue os- 

 trich wreath with yellow tulle stream- 

 ers. 



James Jordan, with F. C. Jaeger & 

 Son, ir)2 Powell street, is visiting his

 is putting in part of the time painting
