ing along camp equipment, so she can 

 stop in the prettiest spots along the 

 way. Mrs. Darbee says flowers were in 

 excellent shipping condition for the holi- 

 day, thanks to the cool, damp weather. 



The management of the California 

 Floral Co. is well satisfied with its first 

 Memorial day business. This concern 

 did considerable shipping, in addition 

 to a number of church decorations and 

 an active counter trade. 



Frank Claverie reports business good 

 on Polk street. He has his store nicely 

 fitted up and has added three employees 

 to his force. 



Norman Marcus, decorator for Albert 

 O. Stein, has enlisted in a hospital unit 

 and expects to leave soon for France. 

 He has two brothers and several friends 

 in the same corps. On account of his 

 father's illness, PatricJI: Orr, of the 

 Stein force, has given lap his plans for 

 a month's trip east and has gone to 

 Oroville, Cal., instead, to spend the '^ime 

 with his father. 



The Francis Floral Co. enjoyed a won- 

 derful Memorial day business, accord- 

 ing to the proprietor, Francis Schlotz- 

 hauer. His force worked overtime on 

 out-of-town shipments. 



Frank H. Forrest has closed a deal 

 whereby he will do all the decorating 

 for the Tait-Zinkand cafe, which is one 

 of the largest in the city. He makes 

 his headquarters with the Art Floral 

 Co. and has been helping out there for 

 several days during the holiday rush. 

 P. V. Matraia, head of the company, 

 says shipping business was especially 

 good. 



At his stand in the St. Francis hotel 

 Julius Eppstein has had a special dis- 

 play of orchids from Carbone's place 

 in Berkeley. The showing included ten 

 or more varieties. Mr. Eppstein says 

 business is holding up well. 



Victor Podesta, of Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi, gave his attention personally to 

 a large floral piece for the Guthrie 

 demonstration. Mr. Podesta says that 

 the Memorial day business has ceased 

 to amount to much with florists doing 

 a high-class business downtown, at least 

 as far as extra counter trade is con- 

 cerned. 



Manager J. A. Axell, of the E. W. 

 McLellan Co., reports the largest ship- 

 ping business for Memorial day that his 

 firm ever experienced. Peonies were 

 one of the principal items, and baby 

 gladioli were in great demand. The 

 McLellan Co. continues to bring in a 

 fine cut of gardenias and has a heavy 

 cut of roses. 



Fred C. Jaeger, manager for Mac- 

 Rorie & McLaren, has resumed his du- 

 ties, after a pleasant outing in Lake 

 county. This concern sent many flowers 

 out of town for Memorial day. 



Eobert Newcomb, representing the 

 American Bulb Co., says he is going to 

 remain on the coast until Julv.

'Hi 



Beautiful lawns — by killing the weeds without harming the grass. 

 Every florist, seedsman, nurseryman and landscape gardener can 

 render a real service to every private estate, home, country and 

 golf club that has a lawn — and at the same time make substantial 

 profits, by recommending 



\ffm siuam 



KILLS WEEDS -NOT GRASS 



Lawn Silicate, in powder form, 

 is sprinkled over the weeds with 

 the hand. It sifts past the per- 

 pendicular-growing grass and is 

 caught only by the flat-lying weeds. 

 The chemical burns into the weed 

 and is drawn down to the very root 

 —killing the weed permanently. 



Lawn Silicate kills weeds effec- 

 tively, economically and quickly. 

 It eliminates costly hand-weeding. 

 — saves distieuring lawns — all 

 without injury to the grass. 



We are helping you to sell Lawn 

 Silicate by advertising it and stimu- 

 lating the demand that already 

 exists— just as we are doing for 

 ATLAS |WEED« KILLER, which, 

 by the way, you should tell your 

 customers to use for killing weeds 

 on paths, drives, gutters, tennis 

 courts, etc. 



You should have the details of 

 our proposition because it means 

 big new profits. Now is 

 the time.
