A photograph of the same event is captioned, "Typical Flower Men like this will greet you in the early morning hours if you visit the block-long flower market that thrives in downtown Los Angeles. This area plays a stellar role in the Southland's $3,800,00 cut flower business; but always growers are looking out for plant pests and an agricultural inspector attends every market session!," Los Angeles Times, 22 Sep. 1935: G24 A similar photograph appears with the article, "Give Your Trees a Bath!," Los Angeles Times, 22 Sep. 1935: G24 Flower market vendors stand at stations in the foreground as they wrap flowers up for customers. The shared vendor stall stretches through the foreground on an upward angle to the right. One vendor bends forward at center. His wrapping table sits to the left of him. Behind and to the right of him, another vendor sits atop his flower wrapping station. A third vendor stands along the right edge and wraps up flowers. Beyond the vendors, customers wait on the far side of a long table. Text from negative sleeve: 3296 Flower Mart JAN 21 1936 stamp
