SAN FBANCISOO NOTES. 



[Contioued from patre 96.] 



Mrs. B. E. Darbee has returned from 

 a six weeks ' vacation tour during which 

 little of the central part of the state 

 was missed. She stopped in the Yosem- 

 ite valley for about three weeks and 

 then started on a tour through the 

 Feather river country, exploring the 

 high Sierras in that district. The re- 

 turn to San Francisco was made by way 

 of Eureka and the coast. Mrs. Darbee 

 stated that the outing was a success in 

 every way and she was enthusiastic in 

 her praise of the camp outfit which was 

 carried in the machine and added great- 

 ly to the pleasure of the trip. It was a 

 particular convenience this year, she 

 said, for the crowded condition of the 

 resorts made it impossible at times to 

 get accommodations. Mrs. Darbee has 

 started shipping in large volume, the 

 majority of the stock being asters, chrys- 

 anthemums and plumosus at present. 

 Last week she shipped greens to Detroit 

 to decorate the convention hall. 



Six acres of land in San Leandro, 

 Cal., have been purchased by Joseph 

 Proietti, a grower who is noted for an 

 excellent choice of gladioli and daffodils, 

 and he has already started to remove 

 his bulbs from the old location between 

 San Leandro and Elmhurst. The new 

 farm is larger and more conveniently 

 located and when the replanting is com- 

 pleted Mr. Proietti will have one of 

 the largest bulb farms for cut flowers in 

 this district. It is understood that he 

 paid about $10,000 for the new location. 



Domoto Bros, are busy with aster 

 shipments, as are Enomoto & Co. The 

 stock from both these establishments is 

 in excellent shape. 



Plans are now being prepared by 

 Emerson Knight, landscape engineer 

 with oflBces in the Monadnock building, 

 for residence gardens which will cover 

 about three acres on the estate of Chas. 

 A. Gale, at Pleasanton, Cal. 



M. H. Douglass, a nurseryman of Han- 

 ford, Cal., was a recent visitor in San 

 Franeisco. M. M.
