WE CLOSE SUNDAYS 



with the express company to get better 

 service over the Salt Lake route. At 

 present, only the night train carries ex- 

 press, so that flowiTs are one day old 

 before leaving and the trip is a hard 

 one to Salt Lake City and other Utah 

 and Nevada points. 



Max Cohen, of the .fackson Flower 

 Shop, Chicago, was a vi.sitor last week. 



Several changes are being made at 

 the store of Purdie & Co., including the 

 addition of a downstairs workroom, 

 which will give much more room in the 

 store. 



E. Overstrcet, of S. Murata & Co., is 

 looking forward to August 1, when lie 

 liopcs to exchange the lieat and bustle 

 of Los Angeles streets for the cooling 

 sea breezes at (/atalinn. 



Max Sclieinuk, of New Orleans, 

 arrived in Los Angeles a few days ago 

 and is so taken with our climate that 

 lix> has wired for Mrs. Scheinuk to 

 come and stay for a week or two. Mr. 

 Sclieinuk is making a tour of the grow- 

 ers here and incidentally arranging for 

 (California stock to be sliipped to his 

 fine store in the southern city. He is 

 evidently a live wire and makes his 

 headquarters with W. Arinacost & Co. 



Mr. Aldridge, representing the M. 

 Kice Co., of Philadelphia, .-nid Dan Mar- 

 Korie, of the MacKorieMcfjaren f'o., 

 S;iii Vriincisco, were visitors last week.

satisfactory, lioses seem to have taken 

 a new lease of life. Carnations, while 

 fur from plentiful, are still obtainable. 

 Old-timers in the business say that 

 dahlias are more in deniiind than they 

 have ever been at this season. They 

 have to be ordered ahead by some two 

 days. Asters are still scarce, but a good 

 crop is expected by August 1. Gladioli 

 are becoming scarcer. Some chrysan- 

 themums are coming in, but they are not 

 of shipping quiility as yet, and, some of 

 the florists stat(>, the local public does 

 not particularly hanker for mums until 

 the early fall season. Gardenias are 

 jdentiful, and there are lilies of the 

 valley to meet the demand, while Ice- 

 land poppies, pompon dahlias and the 

 usual summer flowers are available in 

 suflRciefTt quantities to meet the de- 

 mand.
