a visitor in San Francisco recently. 

 Mr. Moore spent all of his time looking 

 for Christmas stock. He states that 

 business in Sacramento is quite good 

 just now, many social affairs supplying 

 plenty of work. 



Last week Joseph's window made a 

 most attractive autumnal picture, with 

 its baskets and vases in bronze tones 

 filled with chrysanthemums and maple 

 leaves. Garlands of eucalyptus and 

 acacia leaves tinted in autumn colors 

 were looped from the ceiling above 

 the window, forming a canopy which 

 created a charming impression of frost- 

 tinted woods. George Wagner, who has 

 the larger part of the decorating in 

 charge, expects to make a special trip 

 to Sacramento soon to arrange the floral 



work for a wedding to be held in that 

 city November 14. 



An attractive color scheme was 

 worked out by Mrs. Copeland at a 

 church wedding last week. Gray-toned 

 acacia leaves were combined with pink 

 chrysanthemums and hydrangeas, giv- 

 ing a delicate atmosphere to the affair, 

 different from the usual color combina- 

 tions at this season. 



The Art Floral Co. reports an excel- 

 lent demand for corsages lately. The 

 shop is resplendent with a new electric 

 sign in the form of a single red rose, 

 which is hung just above the name of 

 the shop. A. Cuneo, the head decorator, 

 is now able to devote more attention 

 to the windows, as he is relieved from 

 some of the other work by the addition 

 of William Scanlon to the force. Mr. 



Cuneo has used decorated bowls recent- 

 ly in place of the usual flower baskets, 

 with the result that the windows have 

 attracted considerable attention. Mr. 

 Scanlon has recently returned to the flo- 

 rists' business after a period of work in 

 the shipyards. Prior to the war he was 

 a member of the A. O. Stein staff. 



Weddings have kept the MacRorie- 

 McLaren Co. busy lately. In addition 

 to the large affair at the Bohemian 

 Club, a number of smaller ceremonies 

 were decorated by this firm. The land- 

 scape department is also exceptionally 

 busy and many contracts are under way 

 for this season. Donald McLaren has 

 just returned from a trip to the south- 

 ern part of the state in regard to work 

 of this department.
