From present indications, there will 

 be considerable business for Decoration 

 day. The continued warm weather is 

 liable to spoil much of the outside stock 

 in the interior towns of the state, in 

 which case the retailers depend entirely 

 on San Francisco and vicinity for their 

 supplies. Funeral trade, together with 

 the school closings, has kept the retail- 

 ers fairly busy for the last few days. 

 Many of our prominent townspeople 

 are commencing, however, to leave for 

 the seashore and the mountains, and in 

 a short time we shall be in the midst of 

 the usual midsummer quietness. 



Various Notes. 



George C. Eoeding has been appointed 

 chief of the horticultural department

 Berkeley, Cal., captured all the first 

 prizes for cut roses at the California 

 State Floral Society's exhibition last

Fred Grunwald, of Fruitvale, after 

 being several months in a local hos- 

 pital as the result of a railroad acci- 

 dent, is able to resume his duties.

ME. EBEL'S SUGGESTIONS. 



Reading in a recent issue of The 

 Review Mr. Ebel's suggestions, these 

 few thoughts came to me. Nature has 

 provided more wild flowers than articles 

 of food, and many of them are for the 

 only purpose of being admired. The 

 wild flowers have been so improved 

 through the efforts of florists and others 

 that they are worthy to be worn by the 

 proudest in the land. What is more 

 beautiful than a well grown and de- 

 veloped flower? Flowers h?ive many 



uses: They soothe the temper, make 

 cheerful the sad, mend the ruffled spirits 

 of everyone, and a dinner-table is not 

 complete without them. There is noth- 

 ing better for a present than a nice box 

 of flowers or a pot or pan of flowering 

 plants. Mother knows her children love 

 her when they give or send a box of 

 flowers or a plant. Young ladies appre- 

 ciate flowers more than candy. In fact, 

 flowers as a present are more desirable 

 than any other thing. 



I was surprised to read that any 

 charitable institution wanted people to 

 send it money instead of buying flowers 

 for a deceased friend. Few people want 

 to advertise how much they realize the 

 loss of a dear friend in dollars and 

 cents. Sending flowers to the bereaved 

 ones shows in an effectual way that 

 one's sympathy is with them in their 

 dark hour. I have occasionally seen 

 funerals where there were no flowers, 

 and the thought has arisen, "There goes 

 someone who is unhonored and un- 

 sung." In conclusion, flowers from 

 time immemorial have been used for 

 decorative purposes, and in this day and 

 age, when they can be obtained every- 

 where, flowers in their season, people 

 ought to buy them and use them for 

 any and every occasion that arises.
