The Florists' Review

and other materials on the ground for 

 the new greenhouse at the Montebello 

 ranch and will commence operations at 

 once. Business at the store is reported 

 excellent. 



H. Eeeve Darling says his August 

 business was away ahead of ^ that of 

 last year. 



One of the biggest social events of 

 late was the wedding of J. E. "Clark 

 and Miss Florence Wood, which was 

 celebrated September 1. Howard & 

 Smith, of Ninth and Olive stiaaie, *ad 

 the decorations, «fcieh -were elaborate 

 and were under the supervision of W. 

 Collins, the artistic florist who has 

 charge of this department. Mr. Col- 

 lins certainly beat all his own records 

 in this. Both the church and the 

 house were decorated. Over 4,000 Kil- 

 larney roses, 1,000 gladioli, 150 cat- 

 tleyas and nearly 2,000 valley were 

 used, besides large quantities of other 

 flowers and many Asparagus plumosus 

 strings. The guest table was ar- 

 ranged around a sunken garden of 

 Farleyense, valley and orchids, with a 

 large kentia in the center, from which 

 festoons of valley and orchids were 

 arranged in a fountain effect which 

 was exceedingly tasteful and elegant. 

 The bride carried an arm shower of 

 white orchids and maidenhair feins. 

 The maid of honor carried Killarney 

 roses; the six bridesmaids carried 

 shower bouquets of valley and or- 

 chids. The firm had carte blanche in 

 the matter of cost. 



Wallace Boyd, of the O. C, Saakes 

 force, was in an accident to the 

 "Angel's Flight" car when it ran 

 wild down the steep incline and col- 

 lided with the car going up. Fortu- 

 uately, the injury was not serious, a 

 sprained ankle being the worst part 

 of it. 



^ F. L. Smith, of Smith & Fetters, 

 Cleveland, O., is in Los Angeles again. 

 He seems to be undecided between the 

 Angel City and San Francisco as a 

 place in which to open a first-class 

 store. 



Fred Abrams, of the nursery depart- 

 ment of the Germain Seed & Plant Co., 

 started on a business trip to San Fran- 

 cisco and intermediate towns Septem- 

 ber 1, using his new automobile. 



John Gordon is back at his post at 

 Morris Goldenson's, looking well after 

 an enjoyable holiday at Catalina.

The Market. 



Business is showing a gradual in- 

 crease as the summer passes. August, 

 compared with last season, shows a 

 gradnal increase, which speaks well for 

 the business, considering the money 

 stringency. Fall weddings are numer- 

 ous; good prices prevail in all lines of 

 'lecorative work. Flowers are not over- 

 plentiful, asters being the best flower 

 obtainable. Lilies have held out well, 

 auratum especially; rubrums have about 

 passed out of the market. Roses are 

 improving, yet are rather small. Young 

 stock of carnations is coming in nicely. 

 Dahlias, sunflowers and Golden Glow 

 "lake some .good store effects.
