 great demand tor the flower market. Trade *kt., $1.00;

Tlif United Flower & Supply Co. 

 stated: "We're doing all we can to 

 keep up with orders and, with the ex- 

 ception of ii few flowers, we are able 

 to meet all demands. The flowers that 

 are too scarce to go around are calla 

 lilies and gladioli especially." 



Doiiioto Bros, reported, "Lilies move 

 fast at present. Business is rushing, 

 especially in roses, gladioli, peonies and 

 carnations.' ' 



Enomoto & Co. were gratified that, 

 for the first time, they have been able 

 to fill all Memorial day orders in ever- 

 greens.

 from the wedding decoration orders 

 that are coming in. 



Victor Podesta, of Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi, said: "People talk of business 

 being bad, but that does not seem to 

 apply to florists, for we find business 

 to be good." The firm has been busy 

 with social affairs and funerals, a car- 

 load of roses having just gone to the 

 Goodale funeral, at Berkelcv. 



Julius Eppstein, of the St. Francis, 

 lias had a number of teas and dinners 

 with costly floral decorations. One en- 

 tertainment had the decorations all in 

 orchids and gardenias. 



F. C. Jaeger has recovered from his 

 recent illness and is able to work as 

 actively as ever in managing the stor.- 

 on Powell street. 



Fred Bertrand, of the Palace hotel 

 flower store, has had extensive decora- 

 tions for women's clubs recentlv, espe-

The Ad Club luncheon of Mav 18 

 "w-is turned over to the florists of the 



city, who presented one of the best pro- 

 grams offered at an Ad Club luncheon 

 this year. The banquet room was a 

 bower of roses, and there were roses 

 on all the tables and a rose at each 

 plate. During the program the song, 

 "Say It with Flowers," was sung and 

 six young ladies showered the crowd 

 with sweet peas. The speakers were 

 J. F. Ammann and H. V. Swenson, both 

 of whom gave able talks and, no doubt, 

 did considerable good in advertising the 

 florists' business in general. 



The evening of May 18 was devoted 

 to a business meeting of all the florists 

 of the city and vicinity, some forty-five 

 being present. H. Lozier, chairman of 

 the Florists' Club, turned the meeting 

 over to Mr. Ammann and Mr. Swenson.
