drawback to sending them by express. 

 However, there are other varieties 

 which withstand the hardships of ex- 

 press travel, and these Mrs. Darbee is 

 using chiefly for her daily shipments, 

 of which she has had quite a rush re- 

 cently. 



Many standing orders for a territory 

 reaching as far east as Texas are being 

 filled daily by F. C. Jaeger & Son. 



The Francis Floral Co. is preparing 

 a number of new and attractive floral 

 baskets for the lioliday trade. The 

 proprietor, F. T. Schlotzhauer, and his 

 daughters design these baskets, which 

 won recognition during the Panama- 

 Pacific exposition. 



A remarkable rose-growing record 

 has been established by L. G. Gardner, 

 rose grower for Charles Stappenbeck, 

 the American Florist, of Polk street. 

 "Since 1900 Mr. Gardner has been 

 growing roses for us," said Mr. Stap- 

 penbeck, "and he has never missed a 

 month, during all those twenty years. 

 He comes to me every fall and asks: 

 'How many roses do you want for 

 Christmas!' I tell him, and the roses 

 are always there in the full quantity 

 named." 



An elaborate wedding decoration was 

 made September 29 by Albert O. Stein 

 in the ballroom of the Fairmount hotel. 

 For the altar, against a background of 

 oak leaves in autumn hues, there were 

 gold-colored columns with gold urns. 

 Garlands of pink stocks were draped, 

 Venetian-mast style, from the seven 

 lighted candelabra in the aisle. The 

 bride carried a shower bouquet of gar- 

 denias and white cyclamen, the maid 

 of honor's bouquet consisted of gla- 

 dioli and the two bridesmaids carried 

 blue hydrangeas. The color scheme 

 was carried out also in table baskets. 



A striking window decoration is at- 

 tracting attention at Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi's store. On a flooring of moss- 

 green tiles rests a bronze-colored bas- 

 ket, about five feet across and ten feet 

 in height. French marigolds in vari- 

 ous shades of yellows and browns are 

 combined in this basket with pale yel- 

 low Iceland poppies, some of these flow- 

 ers also being massed on the tiles. 

 Flame-colored eucaly})tus blooms com- 

 ])lete the window trimming. 



Robert Lang, son of Otto Lang, of 

 Dallas, Tex., is visiting this city. Mr. 

 Lang is entered at Stanford University,
