The wide reputation of some of the 

 San Francisco florists is indicated by 

 the fact that Victor Podesta, of 

 Podesta & Baldocchi, was called to 

 Eeno, Nev., last week to supervise deco- 

 rations for a fashionable wedding. The 

 event also furnished business for some 

 of the other local houses, Pelicano, 

 Eossi & Co. sending a bridal bouquet of 

 phalaenopsis. 



The American Express Co., which 

 only recently invaded San Francisco, is 

 furnishing a refrigerator car service 

 that is a great convenience to whole- 

 sale florists, this bein^ the first time 

 that a refrigerator service on express 

 schedule has been available. The 

 E. W. McLellan Co. has lately been 

 shipping a great deal of asparagus and 

 maidenhair by this route to points 

 throughout the middle west, where 

 dealers quite generally are taking ad- 

 vantage of the opportunity to get these 

 goods fresh from California. It is ex- 

 pected also that this service will be 

 of great advantage in shipping violets 

 during the fall. 



Charles Stappenbeck, the American 

 Florist of Polk street, is getting a 

 magnificent cut of Ophelia roses and 

 says the flowers and the crop are get- 

 ting bigger every day. He is also 

 showing some Francis King and Amer- 

 ica gladioli from nearby points that 

 are away ahead of most of the stock 

 received. 



A. O. Stein is still busy with deco- 

 rative work. A few days ago, on the 

 occasion of a dinner dance in New 

 York building at the exposition on the 

 departure of Judge and Mrs. Lamar, 

 he arranged the table for fifty-seven 

 as an Italian sunken garden, with pink, 

 blue and white hydrangeas. Another 

 large decoration, with tables for about 

 180, for the Swedish commission din- 

 ner, was done in American Beauties, 

 and a dinner for forty, in honor of 

 the Honduras commission, was deco- 

 rated with forty dozen red dahlias. 



Frank & Parodi, on McAllister street, 

 near FUlmore street, say things have 

 quieted down a good deal lately, but 

 report a highly satisfactory trade dur- 

 ing the spring. 



The E. W. McLellan Co. is bringing 

 in a few Lady Alice Stanley roses. They 

 • look well, but it is too soon to tell 

 much about them.

nished the pansies for the exposition, 

 visited San Francisco last week. The 

 pansies, which succeeded the tulips in 

 a large part of the grounds, are still 

 blossoming finely. 



Lucien E. Rohlick has completed ar- 

 rangements to engage in the flower 

 business at Portersville, Cal., making 

 his headquarters in the Mission Garage 

 in that town, in which he has an in- 

 terest. He is starting the construction 

 of a greenhouse near his home. In the 

 past considerable business at Porters- 

 ville has gone to florists in Visalia and 

 Fresno, but Mr. Bohlick will be in a 

 position to take care of the business 

 promptly. 



There seems to be a growing senti- 

 ment in favor of a florists' picnic this 

 summer, and from the interest taken in 

 the matter it is expected that both flo- 

 rists and gardeners will support the 

 event. Plans are still indefinite, some 

 wanting to have it this month and 

 others later. The question is expected 

 to come up for discussion at the com- 

 ing meeting of the Horticultural So- 

 ciety. 8. H. G.
