sources of their city, were surprised to 

 learn of the magnitude of the flower 

 industry from an article written by 

 Angelo Eossi, at the request of the San 

 Francisco Chamber of Commerce. His 

 article was published, a few days ago, 

 in Business, the organ of the Chamber 

 of Commerce, a live weekly paper. 



George BelDan, the actor, is a native 

 of San Francisco, so the Retail Florists ' 

 Association resolved to honor him on 

 two accounts, as a fellow citizen and as. 

 an artist. The scene of his successful 

 play, "The Sign of the Rose," is laid 

 in a florist's store. When Mr. Beban 

 arrived, a few days ago, he was met by 

 a committee from the association, bear- 

 ing a big basket of roses. The mem- 

 bers of the committee were Fred Ber- 

 trand, of the Palace Hotel Flower Shop, 

 who went to school with Mr. Beban, 

 and B. M. Joseph. Every night the 

 downtown florists have supplied flowers 

 for Mr. Beban 's stage shop, and one 

 enthusiastic Mission florist designed a 

 huge rose piece. An association lunch- 

 eon was tendered Mr. Beban at the 

 Palace, those present including Messrs. 

 Podesta and Baldocchi, P. Matraia, B. 

 M. Joseph and Mrs. Joseph, Gilroy 

 Brown, of Brown & Kennedy; F. T. 

 Schlotzhauer, and Albert 0. Stein, who 

 was toastmaster. The decorations, by 

 Bertrand, were roses. Mr. Beban, in a 

 speech, confided the news that the 

 scene of his forthcoming play will be 

 laid in a florist's store. On behalf of 

 those present, Mr. Stein presented Mr. 

 Beban with a beautiful rose scarf pin. 



James A. Brown, of Brown's Bulb 

 Ranch, Capitola, is in the city with Mrs. 

 Brown, en route from a fishing trip in 

 Humboldt county. 



Frank Roach, of the Lynch Nursery, 

 was in town May 18 and said that 

 there is promise of an excellent chrys- 

 anthemum crop on the Peninsula. 



J. A. Axell recently spent a day 

 motoring to the various nurseries 

 around Colma and the result of his in- 

 quiries led him to state that there is 

 supply enough for Memorial day, 

 though he fears that the present crop 

 of peonies may be gone by then. 



F. C. Jaeger & Son are surprised at 

 the amount of wholesale business trans- 

 acted for Mothers' day, since they 

 made efifort only for the retail end for 

 that occasion. There are twenty-five 

 employees in the two stores. 



Frank D. Pelicano is sufficiently re- 

 covered from his recent illness to spend 

 part of his time at the store of Peli- 

 cano, Rossi & Co.

 looks as though business is good.'" 



Joseph's has a window, arranged by 

 G. P. Wagner, in which the flowers 

 match in color the bright plumage of 

 Australian finches in an aviary. The 

 crimson of the birds' heads is carried 

 out in Hadley roses; the blue, in a 

 mass of delphiniums.
