San Francisco Flower Stands


Every great city is like another in many respects, and all of them have many things in common. But it is the little “extras” that make cities differ from one another.

San Francisco has one of the most colorful of these extras, its street curb flower stands in many sections of the downtown district. Not another city in America has them, yet San Francisco has had them almost from its beginning. They have been the theme of artists and writers, and visitors from all parts of the globe have marveled that so attractive a feature is not to be found elsewhere.

At these stands many be found practically all varieties of blossoms fresh from the gardens of San Mateo County, and at prices so reasonable that the volume of business done by the little stands is very large.
