SAN FBANCISCO NOTES. 



[Oontlnaed Irom papre 82. ) 



ity, Mr. Onislii says they failed to move 

 readily on aGcomit of tlie lower prices 

 of other flowers. 



Victor I'odesta, of Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi, reports business seasonably 

 yood; in fact, better than at this time 

 last year. 



The employees of Joseph 's are quite 

 proud of the fact that each of them is 

 tlie liolder of one or more Liberty 

 bonds. This concern anticipates an 

 unusually active fall business and is 

 making jireparations accordingly. 



J. A. Axell, manager for the E. W. 

 McLellan Co., reports that the crop of 

 American Beauty roses is about over 

 for the summer, but says that Russell 

 is holding up in fine shape. 



Tlie C. Kooyman Co., Inc., is receiv- 

 ing freesia bulbs and Mr. Kooyman 

 says orders to date indicate that the 

 demand will be heavy this season. 



Attention has been called to the fact 

 that the roses handled here this year 

 seem to be more infectious than usual. 

 Case after case has been reiK>rte(l of 

 sore hands, and in some instances medi- 

 cal aid has been necessary to prevent 

 serious blood ])()isoning. The growers 

 claim the conclitiou is not due to any 

 preparation they have used in sjtraying, 

 and they are at a loss to explain the 

 trouble. 



Two large decorations tlie same week 

 was tlie booty that made the Albert O. 

 Btein staff" work early and late. 



The Misses Hannoii report business 

 good at their establishment on Sutter 

 street for this time of tlie year. Family 

 trade has not dropi)ed off so noticeably 

 as usual in June. S. H. G. 



Word lias been received of the death 

 of Ernest Matraia at San Antonio, Tex., 

 .Tune ]."). Mr. Matraia, who was well 

 known up and down the coast, had gone 

 to Texas in March in search of health. 



A note in this column May .'! referred 

 to the interest with wliich tlie trade 

 lieard of an imi)eiidiiig reduction in ex- 

 press rates on the steadily increasing 

 loiig-<listance shipments from this 

 market. The attention of the officials 

 of the American p]xpress Co., operat- 

 ing the refrigerator car service, has 

 been called to the item and they ex- 

 jdaiii that it was premature, inasmuch 

 as the matter under consideration, 

 which afforded the basis for the rumor, 

 has been decided adversely. There will 

 be no change in rates in any way for 

 the jiresciit, they say.
