SAN FRANCISCO DELIVERIES 

Acceptable Plan Is Evolved 
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—Florists 
of this area have worked out and 
are operating plans for delivery 
- which are said to have won the ap- 
proval of ODT. In the metropoli- 
tan area pickups are made twice 
daily, trucks leaving the central de- 
pot for this purpose at 10 am. and 
2 p.m., returning to the central sta- 
tion for rerouting. Then deliveries 
over the city are made. The after- 
noon delivery goes as far south as 
Palo Alto, 30 miles, and across the 
Bay to the Oakland area. 
Where any florist has a full load 
for a funeral or wedding he makes 
the delivery himself with his own 
truck. 
Charge for this service is $1 a 
trip or 25¢ a package if there are 
more than four deliveries for a firm. 
Suburban deliveries are more. 
Somewhat similar arrangements 
are in effect in the outlying dis- 
tricts, where the minimum charge is 
$9 a week backed up by an advance 
deposit of $36.

CALIFORNIA SEEDSMEN 

Discuss Problems, Elect Officers 
SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.—Califor- 
nia Seed Association held its semi- 
annual convention in this city re- 
cently, which was attended by about 
50 seed dealers and growers. 
Uppermost among the discussions 
were those in regard to the pro- 
posed new seed-bill-now before the 
California state Legislature, other 
seed legislation, ceiling prices, and 
the freezing of Bermuda grass seeds. 
Seed-testing problems were consid- 
ered, and the labor scarcity—on to 
the packaging of beans and peas in 
100-pound bags. 
Proposal was made to obtain more 
members in the organization to help 
in ironing out the: many problems 
that arise, giving greater strength 
to the group and gaining the expe- 
rience of a greater number of seeds- 
men, 
The following officers were elect- 
ed: President, Charles Morse; vice- 
president, Ralph Kelly; secretary- 
treasurer, Burt Walcott; directors, 
Cy Voorhies and Fred Rohnert.
