in that vicinity are pleased with their 

 prospects. ' ' 



H. A. Avansino, manager ol' the K. W. 

 McLellan Co., says roses are the big 

 erop from the firm 's nurseries. 



Domoto Bros, have about 100 bunches 

 a day of Russell, Ophelia, Mnie. Butter- 

 fly and Dunlop roses coming from their 

 nurseries, as well as a plentiful supply 

 of Easter lilies, sufficient to supply 

 Mothers' day and Memorial day orders. 



Enomoto & Co. are selling locally, as 

 well as shipping, a great many green 

 strawflowers, especially pink statice and 

 helichrysum in various colors, all of 

 which are coming in altundantly from ti.e 

 nurseries. 



Tlie Growers' Cut Flower Co. has 

 plenty of Hinoki plant tubs, received re- 

 cently from Japan. 



A large warehouse basement betw- .n 

 Sutter and Bush streets has been taken 

 over by the United Flower & Supply Co. 

 1. Inque of this firm states that the 

 company intends to go extensivelv into 

 the business of handling florists' sup- 

 plies, in addition to the business in 

 potted and cut flowers. A sample case 

 of colored mats has just been received 

 from Japan, and by October the com- 

 pany expects to have 50,000 mats in 

 .""tock. 



Luthcv Burbank and m..ny other dis- 

 finguislied Galifornians were on liand at 

 the opening of the wild floral show Apiil 

 28, at the St. Francis hotel. Julius Epp- 

 steiu. the St. Francis hotel florist, speak- 

 ing of the 3-day exhibit, said: "Florists, 

 as a class, are not taking any especial 

 part in this display of wild flowers, but 

 it really is, indirectly, an excellent thing 

 for our business because it helps to 

 arouse interest in flowers and their cul- 

 tivation. Most people know and care 

 nothing about California 's wonderful 

 wild flowers except the yellow California 

 poppy. This exhibii ought to help open 

 their eyes and arouse their interest in 

 the wealth of native floweis tliat every 

 i^ounty in this state possesses. ' ' Mr. 

 Eppstein did a large orchid business 

 during the run of the Chicago Grand 

 Opera Co. 



Automobile dealers and branches of 

 factories are giving a great outdoor ex- 

 liibition at their various headquarters 

 and F. C. Jaeger & Son have arranged 

 the floral features of many of the dis- 

 plays. 



Mrs. Darbee is planning to visit Wash- 

 ington in August to attend the conven- 

 tion of the Society of American Florists. 

 She is a staunch advo'*nte of increased 

 acreage for flowers, and she believes that
