Various Notes. 



Considerable damage was done to the 

 ranges by the wind, January ]8. The 

 greenhouses are built running north and 

 south. The wind came from the north, 

 a rather unusual quarter, and if a few 

 panes in the north side became broken 

 and were not immediately repaired, the 

 entire south end would be torn out. 

 Damage from this cause is variously es- 

 timated at from $5,000 to $7,000. 'The 

 lieating arrangements in the greenhouses 

 proved totally inadequate for the re- 

 quirements during the coldest ])art of 

 the period and for several days tlie tem- 

 perature was kept with difficulty above 

 the freezing point. 



Seulberger's provided the decorations 

 for the banquet of the state convention 

 of California realtors. About 500 were 

 present at the banquet. Mr. Sculberger 

 was highly complimented on the decora- 

 tions, which were decidedly in advance 

 of the season. Anticipating the cold 

 weather, Mr. Seulbergcr had tlie beds 

 of outdoor flowers that he planned to use 

 covered with straw two days before the 

 banquet. As a result of tliis forethought 

 Mr. Seulbergcr was able to use marigolds 

 and an abundance of other s])ring flow- 

 ers in the decorations, all of them growji 

 outside. Another unique feature was 

 the use of fruit blossoms in the decora- 

 tions. These blossoms, chiefly almonds, 

 are to be obtained only in one or two 

 small spots in the hills wliere tlie natural 

 conditions are such as to allow them 

 to bloom. The supply is, of course, lim- 

 ited, but enough of tliem were available

Tliomas & Harris decorateil' for the 

 fashionable I'arks' wedding, in Hcrkeley, 

 .lannary 20. Decorations were furnislied 

 for two other weddings on the same day. 

 (ircat difficulty was experienced in se- 

 curing sufficient stock to supply the dec- 

 orations desired and the difficulty was 

 overcome only hy a personal trip to the 

 nurseries tlie (lav before the weddings. 



. The gigantic Australian cibotium fern 

 belonging to Thomas & Harris has been 

 returne(l to the store. During the Christ- 

 mas rush it was necessary to remove the 

 fern in order to have more room in the 

 store. The fern is the largest in Cali- 

 fornia, with jiossibly one exception.
