This photograph appears with the article, "Give Your Trees a Bath!," Los Angeles Times, 22 Sep. 1935: G24 At right, an Asian-American vendor at the flower market waves to camera. Flowers lie on tables and the floor around him. Behind him, newspaper leaves are stacked in a pile. Tables of flowers extend back through the warehouse space at right. Open floor stretches back to the left. A girl stands in the mid-ground at center and looks to camera. More vendors and customers mill about the background. Text from negative sleeve: 3296 Flower Mart JAN 21 1936 stamp Text from newspaper caption: 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]
