age to attract passers-by, and those 

 whof have ventured to occupy it have 

 met with failure. The honest policy 

 pursued by this firm in all its dealings, 

 and particularly in the settlement of 

 all its claims, is most commendable. 



The Fairmont Floral Co. has been 

 showing some of the finest peonies 

 that San Francisco has ever seen. The 

 wonderful pink shades have attracted 

 everybody in the city. These blooms, 

 many of them measuring fourteen 

 inches in diameter before they were 

 fully burst open, are some of the finest 

 that any- San Francisco florist has ever 

 displayed. 



The Chas. C. Navlet Co. has spared 

 no eflforts in advertising to the public 

 the fact that florists want to sell at 

 Easter. The company's display in the 

 windows of the Emporium covers a 

 show window space fully 50 feet long, 

 and consists of a wonderfully artistic 

 arrangement of lilies, Pink Pearl rho- 

 dodendrons, basket creations of roses, 

 valley and bulbous flowers, and some 

 fine plants of Phalaenopsis amabilis 

 with long spikes laden with mammoth- 

 sized blooms. Mr. Navlet deserves 

 great credit for his liberality in mak- 

 ing thes^,' displays, which stimulate 

 business interest, and his personal dis- 

 play is beneficial to every florist in 

 San Francisco. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. have just fin- 

 ished remodeling their store. The show 

 windows and floor are now covered 

 with white tile, with a neat border. 

 The partition work has been given a 

 finishing coat of enamel, and every- 

 thing is in readiness to handle their 

 usual large bulk of Easter trade. 



Podesta & Baldocchi have not 

 adopted the retrenching system during 

 the dull period before Easter. They 

 have bought just as liberally as if busi- 

 ness were rushing, and as a result their 

 windows during the week have at- 

 tracted the many passers-by of that 

 section. 



Albert O. Stein has been confining 

 his energies during the week to decora- 

 tive work and has had little time for 

 store trade. 



The American Florist, on Polk street, 

 featured a wonderfully well flowered 

 plant of Phalaenopsis Schilleriana. 

 Perched on the fragile stems of these 

 flower spikes were eight or ten birds, 

 and, although out of proportion, the 

 arrangement gave us something novel 

 to look at. 



"Mr. Schwerin, of the Visitation Val- 

 ley Nurseries, is devoting his attention 

 to supplying the San Francisco market 

 with valley for Easter. He has also 

 some Pink Pearl rhododendrons and 

 some rambler roses; the latter will 

 probably not reach the Easter market, 

 but will make a good commodity for 

 the latter part of the month. Mr. 

 Schwerin reports a good sale of early 

 cut lilies and of the azaleas that he 

 has to offer. 



H. Plath, whose nurseries the writer 

 had the pleasure of visiting last Sun- 

 day, has not been able to carry his 

 usual line of Easter commodities, ow- 

 ing to the fact that his last Christmas 

 was such a heavy one. Mr. Plath, who 

 specializes in ferns, has the finest lot 

 of Bird's-Nest ferns that have ever 

 been grown on the Pacific coast. It 

 would be diflicult to estimate the nuin 

 ber of thousajids that he has put on 

 the Pacific coast markets.
