 the Hayward Floral Co., and Bert Bate- 

 man has been excelling himself in the 

 fine shower and other bouquets turned 

 out. 



Automobile thieves are plentiful in 

 Los Angeles and Frank Lichtenberg 

 missed his car from the Majestic 

 theater building the other evening. He 

 •was fortunate in finding it again a 

 day or two afterward, little the worse 

 for the trip to "Joyland" somebody 

 had made. 



"Hole-in-the-wall" florists are giv- 

 ing way to bootblacks and fruit sellers, 

 several of them having retired from 

 the field since Memorial day.

The Market. 



With the closing of the town schools 

 and the scarcity of wealthy flower 

 buyers in the city, there is little to 

 mention in the line of trade. How- 

 ever, there has been a fair line of 

 wedding decorations, which have help- 

 ed considerably and have been gen- 

 erally distributed among the retailers. 

 Funeral orders have not been as plenti- 

 ful as they were a couple of weeks ago. 

 The weather is all right, as the hot 

 spell, apparently, has gone far away. 



Although flowers are not as plenti- 

 ful as they were, there are still quan- 

 tities to spare. Inside roses and car- 

 nations are of better color and form 

 than they usually are at this time, 

 which can easily be traced to the 

 cool weather. Dahlias and gladioli are 

 more plentiful and are moving only 

 fairly well. Sweet peas are not as 

 long-stemmed as they have been and 

 the public seems to be tiring of them. 

 Lilium album and L. rubrum have 

 made no change in prices. Ijongi- 

 florum is somewhat cheaper. Spanish 

 irises are over and the Japanese sorts 

 have taken their places. The latter 

 sell for much better prices and move 

 well. Other kinds of outside stock are 

 handled almost entirely by the street 

 hucksters and the prices are not worth 

 recording.

The Market. 



The flower business took a sud- 

 den drop, as usual, after Memorial 

 day, and now the stores are loaded 

 with flowers and there is little demand 

 for any of them. The hard worked 

 florists need a rest, anyhow, as so 

 much money has been taken in lately 

 that their fingers are worn thin on 

 the keys of the cash registers, and

it gives them great pleasure to see 

 all the suburban residents carrying in 

 armfuls of flowers to distribute among 

 their friends, thus saving the sellers 

 of flowers a lot of trouble. However, 

 an occasional wedding helps some and 

 people sometimes die even here, so 

 there is hope for the flower business 

 yet.
