the appearance of boxwood. The hedge 

 was draped by crescent-shaped fostoons 

 of orchids. In the center of the room 

 a fountain played, banked by flowers 

 and ferns. Baskets in autumn colorings 

 were the table decorations. 



Much interest was aroused by the 

 sunken Japanese garden arranged by 

 the Bertrand Flower Shop for a dinner 

 tendered to his golf club by the man- 

 ager of the Palace hotel. The sunken 

 garden, which occupied the center of a 

 large table, represented miniature golf 

 grounds with tiny golf balls. One hun- 

 dred Japanese dwarf trees, seventy-five 

 Boston ferns and a hedge of primulas 

 gave the effect of shrubbery in a gar- 

 den, which included a miniature fish 

 I)ond and an electric fountain. 



Funeral work has been exceptionally 

 active during the last week, as several 

 prominent San Franciscans have passed 

 away. Joseph 's was busy with four big 

 funerals. 



Shellgrain & Ritter were busy last 

 week with funeral work. 



Podesta & Baldocchi report an un- 

 usual number of funerals, which have 

 kept their staff busy, in conjunction 

 with table decorations. 



The Thomas Floral Co., at the corner 

 of O'Farrell and Jones streets, have 

 found business picking up steadily dur- 

 ing the last two months, especially in 

 funeral work and table decorations. 

 The branch store, at 160.'> Polk street, is 

 proving a highly satisfactory venture. 

 It is under the manajiPinent of D. 

 Thomas, brother of M. Thomas, who is 

 general manager of both ostaMishments. 

 This Polk street store is in a thriving 

 business center. 



Thanksgiving is adding considerably 

 to the business of the California Floral 

 Co. There is a special demand for red 

 decorations. Potted plants, such as 

 primroses, cyclamens and begonias, are 

 coming in and are selling well for house 

 decoration. 



The MacRorieMcLaren Co. has an un- 

 usual amount of funeral work. This 

 establishment was visited recently by 

 four members of Meldrum's Floral Shop, 

 Sacramento. They were Fred Moore, 

 manager; Frank Corato, assistant man- 

 ager; II. Cleveland, in charge of the de- 

 livery department, and C. Bud^rer, de- 

 signer. They came by automobile. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is starting to 

 cut a fine new crop of roses, with Rus-
