sion Dahlia Farm, at 715 Moultrie street, 

 saj's the shortage of stock from Holland 

 is causing a great many people to turn 

 their attention to California for dahlias 

 this year. He reports a heavy demand 

 for the pompon varieties. 



C. S. Quick, dahlia specialist of 

 Berkeley, is able to walk around again, 

 after having been incapacitated for five 

 or six weeks as the result of an auto- 

 mobile accident. 



A. J. Nevraumont, manager of the 

 California Seed Co., says the demand 

 for dahlia tubers is 100 per cent better 

 than it was a year ago. 



F. J. Bertrand, genial manager for 

 B. M. Joseph, went to a local hospital 

 May 1 for an operation. He is not ex- 

 pected back at the store for three weeks 

 or more. Mr. Joseph says business is 

 holding up fairly well. 



Fred C. Jaeger, manager for Mac- 

 Eorie & McLaren, has arranged to leave 

 shortly on an extended automobile trip, 

 the objective point of whicfi will be Tia 

 Juana, near the Mexican border. He 

 will be accompanied by his wife, son and 

 daughter. J. B. Bernardo, of the store 

 force, has a fishing trip planned to the 

 Yosemite. He expects to start about 

 June 1, making the tour by automobile 

 with a party of friends. H. E. Hansen 

 is no longer associated with MacEorie & 

 McLaren. 



Daniel Banahan has resigned his posi- 

 tion with the Art Floral Co. with the in- 

 tention of enlisting in the army. P. Vin- 

 cent Matraia, head of the company, says 

 tliat stock is fine and that business is 

 seasonably active. 



Avansino Bros, brought in the last of 

 their large tree peonies May 2, thus 

 winding up a most successful season 

 with them. Store trade, according to 

 Henry Avansino, gives no ground for 

 complaint, but he says it is more difficult 

 to regulate than it was during the win- 

 ter months, some days being much bet- 

 ter than others. 



Miss Recardie Lee Murray has taken 

 back the flower stand in the Clift hotel, 

 at Taylor and Geary streets, which she 

 conducted for some time prior to open- 

 ing a store at 894 Geary street a few 

 months ago. Three other parties have 

 had a try at it in the meanwhile. Miss 

 Murray did well there, but her trade 

 grew until she needed increased facili- 

 ties. Operating the liotel stand as a 

 branch will probably prove a valuable 

 adjunct to her business. 



A. J. Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., 

 has been taking a prominent part in the 

 preparations for Red Cross day. 



Louis Picetti, manager of the seed 

 and ])lant department of tlie Emporium, 

 which is operated by Charles Navlet & 

 Co., of San ,Tose, Cal., reports a big de- 

 mand for "canned" rose plants. Mr. 

 Navlet is now offering roses in cans, as 

 the result of an experiment he tried last 

 year with . good success. The idea of 

 using cans instead of pots or other re- 

 ceptacles is that the plant does not have 

 to be removed from the can when it is 

 set out, as the tin decomposes in a short 

 time. 



W. Stappenbeck, on Polk street, says 

 that his business is practically all fam- 

 ily trade and that it does not vary much 

 from day to day, or season to season. 



Gunnar Madwig, of the C. Kooyman 

 Co., Inc., expects to leave soon on an 

 extended eastern trip in the interests of 

 the business. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. has a fine 

 crop of gardenias, and the rose cut is 

 about all this market will stand, accord-

This new class of miniature roses is Kaining; won- 

 derfully in popularity, and most deservedly so. Their 

 exceedmg freedom and continuity of bloom is unsur- 

 passed in any other bedding or border plant. Their 

 possibilities are worth your attention and consideration. 



A Few of the Best:

Phyllis Ellen Poulsen Jeanne d'Arc

The most rapturously and strikingly beautiful little 

 rose ever introduced. The color is absolutely new and 

 startling in its brilliancy- golden yellow, tipped with 

 clear cerise. The little buds and open flowers are ele- 

 gantly finished and of most perfect form. Habit of the 

 very best, strong and comport; freedom of bloom is 

 remarkable and continuous throughout the entire sea- 

 son. We have given it a fair and thorough trial and 

 have no hesitancy <n offering it as the one best selling 

 rose you ever handled. It is a mo.iey-maker.
