looking stock. Some of the finest Paper 

 White narcissi I have seen were being 

 hanilled recently, while the freesias, 

 Star of Bethlehem and others, are all 

 fill.' of their kind. Mr. Gage says he 

 is (ijnvinced that as good bulbs can be 

 grown right here as in Holland and can 

 be ripened earlier, and he prophesies a 

 jaim> trade eventually with the eastern 

 gi,r>vers, for forcing. 



\ aiations are in order and a number 

 ot well known faces are missing from 

 th.ii- usual places. 



business keeps up well at the Loa 

 Aiij^eles Flower Market and the stock 

 handled is as fine as any in the city. 

 Frill Sperry is now a lonesome bachelor, 

 as Mrs. Sperry has gone to Chicago on 

 a vacation. 



At Wright's Flower Shop business 

 koHiis up at its usual clip, notwithstand- 

 int; ttie heat, and the fact that some of 

 the staff are now away on vacation 

 makes it pretty hard for those remain- 

 iiif;. A fine weddipg decoration last 

 week at the Van Nuys home consisted 

 Iar>;el.y of trimming the garage, 28x114 

 feet, with oak branches festooned with 

 pink roses. The yard, 114x250 feet, was 

 also decorated and formed the setting 

 for the table, to seat twenty four guests. 

 The house was treated with rubrum 

 lilies, except one parlor, where Ameri- 

 can Beauty roses were used. The brides- 

 maids carried French canes with sus- 

 jiended showers; the bride had a lovely 

 shower of white orchids and valley. 

 The whole of the lighting and illumi- 

 nating effects were under Tom Wright's 

 personal supervision. 



Funeral work starts on Monday and 

 keeps up all the week at the Goldensoi) 

 store, according to J. Gordon. Mr. Gol- 

 denson is still on jury duty, but he is 

 no ordinary juryman, as he walks up 

 the street in that new white suit, the 

 cynosure of all eyes, a la Mark Tlrrain. 



Dieterich & Turner are cutting extra 

 select Sunburst roses from young stock. 

 Killarney Queen is also in fine order. 

 All the young stock, in fact, is perfect 

 in every way. 



Mrs. Fred Howard has been north to 

 attend the funeral of her father, who 

 died recently. 



The death of Robert Leithead, a pio- 

 neer gardener of Pasadena, is reported 

 in this week 's obituary column.

The Market. 



Business has now assumed its usual 

 *<iiminer aspect and there is little trade 

 111 flowers of any kind. Considerable 

 "iitside shipping is being done, but 

 there are prospects of a dull time the 

 iit'X't few weeks. Carnations are abun- 

 ''"nt and keep their quality better than 

 "sual at this time. Sweet peas are down 

 f" bed rock, 75 cents a thousand. Other 

 <*iitside flowers are plentiful, but roses 

 ='ii> scarcer than they have been for a 

 ""•nth. Most of the growers are busy 

 '"planting their houses with carnations.
