DescriptionCoburn’s vibrant mix of abundant blooms, sunshine, and feminine beauty creates a quintessential image of the healthy California lifestyle within reach of the average person, perfectly expressing California bounty. Within ten years of the Gold Rush, nurseries and flower shops had proliferated, and a vast selection of seeds and plants were available from all parts of the world. This flower stand was at the corner of Vermont Avenue near the University of Southern California.On View
