The Flower Shortage is Over 



Our growers are cutting heavily on Roses and 

 more reasonable prices prevail. We have 

 plenty of other seasonable Flowers.

Darling's Shop, on Sixth street. Mr. 

 Darling has just obtained his pilot's 

 certificate to sail an airship, having be- 

 come proficient in this up-to-date sport. 

 He is enthusiastic about the joys of 

 flying and has made great progress. 



Because his manager has left him and 

 because of a bad attack of rheumatism, 

 C. W. Smith is thinking of going out of 

 the cucumber growing business. He 

 will probably sell or rent his range of 

 glass. 



T. H. Wright, of Wright's Flower 

 Shop, has again returned from the 

 desert, where he has been attending to 

 his mining interests, which are proving 

 happily successful. Everyone lets his 

 beard grow in the desert and Mr. 

 Wright was in such a hurry to get back 

 to the flower game on his return that 

 he did not have time to shave his upper 

 lip. The effect is good. 



Latest reports indicate that Walter 

 Armacost and his family are all making 

 good progress in recovering from their 

 colds. 



The L. A. Floral Co. has had to take 

 on additional help to take care of the 

 shipping business. Fred Sperry is back 

 on the job after his turn of sickness. 



Mrs. Dan Travis, of Douglas, Ariz., 

 was in this city last week.

The Market. 



Business during the last week has 

 been normal. The heavy funeral work 

 has been lessened, due to the abating of 

 the flu epidemic. 



Local and California stock is now 

 more plentiful. Carnations are arriv- 

 ing in greater quantities, but the local 

 stock is of poor quality. Roses are be- 

 ginning to increase in number. Some 

 fine Columbia, Ophelia and Premier are 

 to be seen in the stores. Spring flowers 

 are much more plentiful. 



Lily of the valley is making its ap- 

 pearance in most of the larger stores. 

 Acacia is much in evidence and makes 

 a fine display in the interior of the 

 stores. 



Potted plants are selling well, includ- 

 ing tulips, hyacinths and daffodils, also 

 a few hydrangeas, but the blooms are 

 small and the plants are irregular in 

 shape. 



Various Notes. 



Hollywood Gardens report fair busi- 

 ness last week, but nothing of special 

 note.
