SAN FRANCISCO NOTES. 



((Continued from piicc lOH.] 



now supplying tlieni, as well as plenty 

 of almond and ornamental peach sprays. 



M. Domoto, of Domoto Bros., has just 

 returned from a week's business trip to 

 Los Angeles. The Domoto nurseries 

 have begun sending in Easter lilies. 

 Rubrum lilies are now coming in, as 

 well as potted cinerarias. 



Enomoto & Co. have made the experi- 

 ment of shipping some of their products 

 a zone or so farther than lliey had ]ire- 

 viously ventured to send. Mr. Enomoto 

 reports that freesias and acacia sprays 

 are reaching Chicago in excellent shape. 

 The firm received a lot of ,lai»aneso 

 baskets and lotus by a recent incoming 

 steamer. 



The Creole State, the new steamer 

 of the Pacific Mail line, sailed February 

 2 and, as there were a number of dis- 

 tinguished i)assengcrs, the business in 

 bon-voyage baskets lias been rushing. 

 The Art Floral Co. had some of its 

 finest combinations of fruit and flowers 

 in the steamer's staterooms and 

 Joseph's had beautiful baskets on 

 board, many of them covered in tapes- 

 try. One novel ofTering to a young 

 wdiiinii passeiiger was a stack of seven 

 pretty l)oxes, exactly alike, in white and 

 purple, but tied with ribbons of differ- 

 ent colors. I']ach box contained an 

 orchid corsage bouquet, in a glass tube. 

 The package of boxes was consigned to 

 the jnirser's care and every morning, 

 for a week, the young woman would be 

 ^iven a fresh corsage bouipict. Joseph's 

 designed the boxes. 



Podesta & Baldocchi ha\e a strikingly 

 spring-like window with gold-colored 

 tulips in the foreground, the pots en- 

 cased in yellow matting. A mass of 

 daffodils piled behind the pots adds to 

 the effect, while a huge basket of daffo- 

 dils and rcil and yellow tiili]is tills in the 

 background. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. have a spring 

 window of yellow tulips and daffodils, 

 embowered in yellow acacia s])rays. 

 This firm is busy with funeral work. 



Tlie Charles C. Navlet Co. is en- 

 larging its store, as a result, it is stated, 

 of the large business it lias been doing. 

 A mezzanine floor is being adiled, where 

 a seed dei)artment of largo dimensions 

 will be installed. Rose bushes, young 

 trees and an added assortment of bulbs 

 and cut and potted flowers will also be 

 gi\cn space in \hc store. 



Al Robinson, of the Ferry Florists' 

 staff, was married February 2 to Miss 

 K\<'lyn Becker at the residence of his 

 brother-in-law, Anton Figone, 2631 

 Baker street. Cohen & Figone, proprie- 

 tprs of the Ferry Florists, supplied the 

 flowers, the bride's bouquet being of 

 \alley and baliy roses. There was a 

 banquet and ball, Anton Figone and his 

 partner leading the grand march. Mr. 

 Robinson is a popular member of the 

 trade. 



A warm letter of thanks from the 

 San Francisco police department has 

 been received by the Terminal Florist 

 for generosity shown toward the 

 widows' and orphans' fund of this de- 

 partment. According to its annual 

 custom, the Terminal Florist donated 

 all the flowers for the. annual police 

 ball in aid of the fund. At the entrance 

 to the exposition auditorium, where it 

 was held, there was a florists' stand 

 where flowers were sold for the cause. 

 Miss Kelly, the vocalist, received one 

 of the handsomest floral baskets ever 



GRAFTED ROSES 



Five hundred thousand this year and half of them 

 sold! The old, worn-out section won't do for the days 

 that are to come — days when production will tell the 

 story of profit or loss. Labor is plenty. Dig in 

 and replant. We can still supply the best that can 

 be produced, before-the-war quality; better shipping 

 conditions, better deliveries than we have had in the 

 past few years. Get good soil under and good roofs 

 over our grafted roses and watch things grow! 



Let us know the verdict!
