anthem urns coming from their nurseries. 



Yukichi Noda, of the Growers ' Floral 

 Co., says that this firm has specialized in 

 drying its strawflowers according to its 

 own method. 



Domoto Bros, are s|)ecializing in 

 potted plants for the holiday season, 

 especially in poinsettias. 



The place of business of the United 

 Flower & Supply Co. is a blaze of color 

 with potted azaleas, cyclamens, begonias 

 and heather. J. Okumura, acting man- 

 ager, says that the company also has 

 large crops of cut poinsettias. 



The Venice Florists have moved to 

 468 Bush street, a larger and better 

 location, where they are handling a 

 satisfactory holiday business. The part- 

 ners in this firm are Louis Maraschin 

 and Celeste Costagauna. 



The Misses Hannon store is duplicat- 

 ing its miniature redwood wreaths 

 which, last Christmas, were sent east and 

 abroad so extensively. 



Joseph's is showing some bunches of 

 baby roses, pansies, etc., that look 

 so lifelike that people think they are the 

 real thing. They are really hand-painted 

 and scented bouquets of candy flowers, 

 but only millionaires could afford to eat 

 them. They are intended for decorative 

 purposes. 



Venetian baskets in bronze and yellow 

 were the motif for a striking table 

 decoration at the Palace hotel, designed 

 by L. B. Harding, for Podesta & Bal- 

 docchi. Old-fashioned bouquets of 

 marigolds, pansies and heather filled the 

 porcelain baskets; bronze and yellow 

 streamers and big baskets of red berries 

 completed the scheme. 



Angelo Rossi, of Pelicano, Rossi & Co., 

 has been made president of the Italian 

 Hospital Association, which has just 

 taken over the large and splendidly ap- 

 pointed Adler Sanitarium, on Van Ness 

 avenue. The Italian colony of San Fran- 

 cisco runs this hospital. 



Mrs. Darbee, of Darbee's, has been 

 gauging the amount of business the 

 florists will transact during the Yulotide 

 season by watching the amount of holi- 

 day shopping now in progress in the 

 largo downtown stores. "People are 

 beginning to spend their money for gifts 

 in a manner which does not indicate that 

 they are hard pressed for the necessities 

 of life. A large number of the people 

 who were out of work have secured tem- 

 porary jobs at least for the holiday 

 season, and things look promMfilig for 

 a good holiday trade," statfJ Mrs. Dar- 

 bee. She added that many holiday 

 orders are already being booked.
