Flower & Supply Co. These are in sets 

 of six — four leaves, one blossom and one 

 seed pod — and are intended for orna- 

 mental and decorative purposes. There 

 is much demand for them from art stores 

 and designers of baskets containing odd 

 and unusual color effects. 



Domoto Bros, are cutting their roses 

 and report an exceptionally fine crop, 

 especially of Eussell and Ophelia. M. 

 Domoto said: "Of our new roses, 

 Madame Butterfly is much in demand in 

 this market at present. I think it will 

 soon take the place of Ophelia, for it is 

 larger and of a deeper, richer color." 



Enomoto & Co. have laid in a large 

 stock of Chinese lily bulbs, in anticipa- 

 tion of an exceptionally busy Christmas 

 season. Of these flowers, which bloom 

 so abundantly in water for some grow- 

 ers and refuse a single bloom to others, 

 Mr. Enomoto says, "The secret of pro- 

 ducing flowers is to slit the outer brown 

 covering, as the bulb breaks apart and 

 expands. If the bulb is too tightly com- 

 pressed by the outer casing in the 

 j)rocess of expansion, there will be no 

 flowers." 



The Growers' Cut Flower Co. special- 

 izes in pansies and its crop is now com- 

 ing into the market in good shape. 



Pelicano, Eossi & Co. have had an un- 

 usual amount of funeral work during 

 the last week. 



V. L. Podesta, of Podesta & Baldocchi, 

 is to have a great home-coming when he 

 arrives from Italy, about December 15. 

 He leaves about the middle of Novem- 

 ber and will make the trip without 

 haste. 



M. McLaughlin, of Joseph's, is the 

 proud father of a baby girl. 



The Misses Hannon store anticipates 

 an unusually busy Thanksgiving. A 

 number of orders for Thanksgiving 

 decorations have come in from clubs. 



Flowers for a smart society wedding 

 at the Fairmount hotel and an unusual 

 number of funerals have kept the Mac- 

 Rorie-McLaren Co. busy. 



The Art Floral Co. had good business 

 during election week. 



Mrs. R. E. Darbee has had an un- 

 usual amount of funeral work. 



The elaborate decorations at the Kut- 

 ner-Block wedding were widely dis- 

 cussed last week. Albert Stein designed 

 and executed the decorative scheme, 

 which transformed the Italian ballroom 

 of the St. Francis hotel, where the ban- 

 quet took place, into a resemblance of 

 an Alma-Tadema picture of Roman days. 



H. Hayashi & Co., of Oakland, are 

 specializing in house plants for the holi- 

 day season. They grow poinsettias.
