IN THE FLOWER MARKET OF SANTIAGO DE CHILE. 
The love of flowers seems to be inherent in South Americans to a greater degree than in 
many other peoples. In some of the larger cities of South America there are excellent 
flower markets, where the choicest European varieties, as well as many native species, 
are offered for sale. Because of the favorable soil and climate of central Chile, Santiago, 
the capital of that country, offers an excellent display of cut flowers at nearly all times 
of the year. They are sold along the sidewalk of the Alameda, beneath the shade of 
oriental planes, maples, and other temperate-zone ornamental trees. (Photographed by
