These dried flowers are excellent for floral work. They often prove a life-saver when stock is scarce. 

 Send for a small assorted box as a sample. You will come back for more.

shows the effect of the summer season. 

 This statement applies particularly to 

 roses, carnations and other flowers 

 which are year-round staples and not at 

 their best at this time of the year. The 

 percentage of first-class roses is light 

 and it is noted that the better grades 

 clean up ahead of the poorer offerings, 

 in spite of wide variance in prices. This 

 is true also of carnations; many people 

 are willing to pay the higher prices for 

 good flowers at the better stores, in 

 preference to taking the poorer quality 

 at low figures from the street venders. 



The second crop of gladioli is ready, 

 but there is a large percentage of poor 

 flowers among the daily offerings. Good 

 sweet peas are scarce, as the height of 

 their season is past. There are barely 

 enough gardenias and orchids to supply 

 the demand. A feature of the market 

 is the great variety of outdoor summer 

 flowers, such as scabiosas, gaillardias, 

 coreopsis and marigolds. 



A limited supply of nice dahlias is 

 arriving and asters are about due. 

 Chrysanthemums will not be far behind; 

 in fact, scattering lots are already com- 

 ing in three to four times a week. 



Various Notes. 



Pelicano, Rossi & Co. secured the or- 

 der for bouquets for the visitors to the 

 Democratic national convention. They 

 made 6,000 of these in three days and 

 delivered them to the hotels where the 

 visitors were staying. The order about 

 cleaned up the supply of annual summer 

 flowers and several extra men were hired 

 to help make the bouquets. On account 

 of lack of working space at the com- 

 pany's store, tables at two or three of 

 the wholesale places were pressed into 

 service. This order caused about as 

 much flurry in the local market as any 

 single order ever did. Friends of the 

 Pelicanos are glad to learn that Mrs. 

 Frank Pelicano is recovering nicely 

 from the serious operation which she un- 

 derwent a few days ago. 



George Wagner, of B. M. Joseph's, 

 has gone back to St. Louis, Mo., to 

 claim Miss Mayme Lorenz as his bride. 

 They were to be married July 7 and 

 were to leave immediately for San Fran- 

 cisco, where Mr. Wagner will resume his 

 duties at Joseph 's and the young couple 

 will make their future home. 



The florists have been talking for a 

 month about being busy with weddings 

 and their reports are well founded, ac- 

 cording to statistics given out by the 

 county clerk. For instance, June 28 a 

 total of fifty-five marriage licenses were 

 issued, as compared with thirty-nine for
