The utmost enthusiasm was aroused 

 among the San Francisco florists by the 

 success of the Easter trade. Some of 

 them declare that it surpassed the 

 Christmas business, and not a few as- 

 sort that they were sold out before 

 closing time on the Saturday preceding 

 Kaster. These include F. G. Jaeger & 

 Son, Joseph's and the MacRorie-Mc- 

 Laren Co. 



' ' The best business we have ever had 

 since the store was started," was the 

 statement regarding Easter made by the 

 United Flower & Supply Co. "We 

 (leaned up everything and, in spite of 

 the large stock on hand, the supply was 

 not equal to the demand." 



Domoto Bros, not only disposed of a 

 big stock of Easter lilies, but also sold 

 large quantities of potted azaleas, hy- 

 drangeas and rhododendrons. The 

 wholesale demand for these was large. 

 M. Domoto believes that all his varie- 

 ties of lilies will be in good condition 

 for Memorial day. In addition, he has 

 jdenty of roses, Darwin tulips and white 

 and purple lilac coming from the nurs- 

 eries. 



Although it was somewhat late tor 

 violets, Enomoto & Co. successfully 

 tried the experiment of shipping 150 

 dozen violets to Baltimore for the 

 Piaster trade. On Easter Sunday Mr. 

 Enomoto 's new car, containing his wife 

 and children, was smashed in a colli- 

 sion with the machine of a careless 

 autoist. The chauffeur was hurt, but 

 the other members of the party were 

 uninjured. 



The Growers' Cut Flower Co. has nice 

 tulips and carnations coming in from 

 the nurseries. The remodeled premises 

 of this firm, on St. Anne street, give 

 ample space for a display of baskets, 

 twine and cord, which are all being 

 offered to the trade. 



Largely as a window decoration, 

 George P. Wagner, of Joseph's, de- 

 signed a cross, six and one-half feet in 

 height, of heather and white lilac 

 springing from a bank of Easter lilies. 

 A tourist, reputed to be one of the rich- 

 est women in the United States, saw the 

 cross, bought it and had it shipped to 

 the home of a friend. 



L. J. Capurro, manager of the Mac- 

 Rorie-McLaren Co., is proud of the fact 

 that no milliner's creation in the city 

 surpassed the popularity of the Easter 

 hat designed by the staff in his store. 

 It was a big hat of plain white straw,
