Various Notes. 



Several shipments of large kentias in 

 excellent order have been received by 

 local florists from Chas. D. Ball, of 

 Philadelphia.

 plant largely of Bridesmaid for the 

 coming season.

 sociated with "A. Mann, Jr., has opened 

 a floral establishment at 1326 Polk 

 street. 



James Skinner has 100 fine specimen 

 Laurus nobilis on exhibition at Sutter 

 and Jones streets. 



The rather unique idea of a bank 

 and florist's establishment in the same 

 store can be seen at Chas. Stappen- 

 back's, on Polk street. The Citizens' 

 National Bank, pending the completion 

 of their building next door, have rented 

 half his store.

 company is negotiating for ten acres of 

 land at Elmhurst, with the intention of 

 going into the wholesale florists' busi- 

 ness. 



Mrs. E. Cottle, formerly of Oakland, 

 has gone to Gold Field, Nevada, to en- 

 gage in the retail florists' business. 



W. J. Ford has been appointed super- 

 intendent of Holy Cross cemetery. There 

 were about 500 applications for the po- 

 sition. 



Following the fashion of the better 

 class of stores, the Misses Worn have 

 fitted up and moved to the corner of 

 Stockton and Post streets, three blocks 

 from their old location. 



T. Domoto is on a business trip to 

 Los Angeles and vicinity. 



The range of houses recently built by 

 John Cooke, of Berkeley, are ready for 

 planting. 



D. Eaymond, of the Garden City Pot- 

 tery Co., reports a heavy month's busi- 

 ness in flower pots. 



J. L. Thomas is on a trip to Port- 

 land.

 cisco on a flying trip from Portland.

 ties of l»y trees in boxes to Cali- 

 fornia. G. 



Other Notes. 



Felix Gonzalez, 600 Crescent avenue, 

 has at the present 25,000 square feet of 

 glass and intends to build another house 

 18x110. 



J. T. Shepherd, 563 Thirteenth street, 

 Oakland, has gone into insolvency.

Two of our leading florists, Antoine 

 Figone and Chas. Cohen, have formed 

 a partnership and will open a store at 

 248 Sutter street on September 1. 



Cleis & Jacobsen, 1180 McAllister 

 street, have moved to a large store at 

 942 FUlmore street. In connection with 

 their cut flower business they carry a 

 full line of seeds, trees and plants. 



There are about fourteen Japanese 

 growers of cut flowers in and around 

 San Francisco, three in Berkeley, eight 

 in East Oakland, Elmhurst and Fitch- 

 burg, and three in San Francisco. The 

 largest of these growers is Domoto
