ferings. This is the first year of busi- 

 ness for these young men and they are 

 getting their 10-acre place in good 

 shape. 



Morris Goldenson had the unusual 

 experience of decorating his own home 

 for a wedding June 3, the occasion be- 

 ing the marriage of his cousin, Miss 

 Bessie Harris, to Isador B. Ruben. 

 Cochet roses were used freely, white 

 doves being suspended from these, and 

 the ceremony was performed under a 

 bell of sweet peas. The dining table 

 was treated with American Beauty 

 roses, and baskets of valley and baby 

 roses were used to great advantage in 

 the decoration of the rooms. 



The usual monthly meeting of the 

 Los Angeles County Horticultural So- 

 ciety was held June 4 in Kruckeberg 's 

 hall, with President Payne in the chair. 

 An excellent paper on "Orchids and 

 Their Cultivation" was read by James 

 Taylor, superintendent at the Homer 

 Laughlin place, at Hollywood. In his 

 remarks Mr. Taylor pointed out the 

 most easily cultivated and showy spe- 

 cies, and gave a resume of the neces- 

 sary details in the growing of them, 

 showing himself to be thoroughly con- 

 versant with his subject. He was 

 warmly applauded at the close and an 

 interesting discussion followed.

SAN FRANCISCO. 



The Market. 



Warm weather has been the order 

 for the last week. With the closing of 

 the city schools and the general exodus 

 of people to the country, prospects are 

 not bright for the next couple of 

 months. Flowers since Memorial day 

 have been sent into town in much 

 larger quantities than the business war- 

 rants. There is a fair amount of 

 funeral work, divided among the differ- 

 ent stores, and this is all that the re- 

 tailers have to console them, with the 

 exception of an occasional wedding 

 decoration. Stock of all kinds is be- 

 ginning to show the results of the hot 

 spell, and weak stems and poor color 

 are to be found in all carnations and 

 roses. 



As to outside stock, the sweet peas 

 are in good shape thus far. Gladioli 

 and dahlias are more plentiful. Peonies 

 are over for the season and the same 

 can be said of all. kinds of bulbous 

 stock except Japanese lilies and valley. 

 The crop of rubrum and album, while 

 not yet at its height, is of good quality 

 and moves nicely. Longiflorum is not 

 as good a seller. Other kinds of flowers 

 are about as usual.
