LOS ANOELES NOTES. 



[Continued from pase 6U.] 



D. MacRorie, of MacEorie & Mc- 

 Laren, San Francisco, has been among 

 our visitors this week. 



Fred Howard, of Howard & Smith, 

 reports business starting out well for 

 the season. He left here this week for 

 a business trip to San Francisco 



Jacob Dieterich, who suffered from 

 a bad case of blood poisoning, is around 

 again fully recovered. 



J. Reeves, of the Beverley Hills Nur- 

 series, has been under the weather with 

 throat trouble. J. Whitehead, foreman 

 here, says he has been drawn for serv- 

 ice. Business is fair for the season. 



The sympathy of everyone in the 

 trade is extended to Fred Rafferty, of 

 Santa Ana, in the death of his wife, 

 which occurred September 25 at the Cal- 

 ifornia hospital. Mrs. Rafferty had un- 

 dergone an operation several days be- 

 fore and was thought to have passed 

 the crisis of her illness. She had been 

 in ill health for some time. The funeral 

 was held at Santa Ana September 27. 



While there is nothing of particular 

 note, all the wholesale houses report in- 

 creased shipping business. Unfortunate- 

 ly, another warm spell has arrived to 

 soften the stock intended for shipping. 



Under the auspices of the Los Angeles 

 Dahlia Association, a dahlia show was 

 held at the Hamburger building Sep- 

 tember 27 to 29. The great heat was 

 undoubtedly against the show, but nev- 

 ertheless a good number of flowers 

 were staged and, by the addition of 

 fresh flowers, the interest of the show 

 was well maintained. Several members 

 of the local trade exhibited and the 

 amateur groups were excellent. The 

 silver cup for the best flower in the 

 show was awarded to a superb bloom of 

 Kalit. The judges were Miss Morris, 

 daughter of O. M. Morris, of Morris & 

 Snow; C. Gutting, of the Superior Nur- 

 sery, and H. R. Richards. 



D. MacRorie, J. Dieterich and F. 

 Lichtenberg made a tour of the growers 

 in and around the city of Pasadena and 

 Sawtelle this week, visiting the fine 

 range of W. Armacost & Co. at the 

 latter town. H. R. Richards. 



Water Valley, N. Y.— Aside from the 

 forty acres in vegetables at the Renge- 

 dyke Farm, Eugene D. Hofeller has a 

 good-sized house devoted to mums, roses, 

 ferns and geraniums. 



Madison, N. J. — Interesting details 

 concerning the Duc^ham-Pierson range, 

 just completed by Hitchings & Co., con- 

 tinue to develop. All the material was 

 brought by auto truck from the com- 

 pany 's factory of Elizabeth, N. J., three 

 trucks being kept on the job continu- 

 ously for more than three months. The 

 sashbars used in the five houses, each 

 house 61x500 feet, placed end to end 

 would extend 106,190 feet, or about 

 twenty miles. There are fifteen miles of 

 heating pipes in the houses and the 

 4-foot benches placed end to end would 

 stretch out to nearly five miles. 



IMPORTANT! 



Retail Florists who have no green- 

 houses, who therefore must depend 

 upon "outside aid," correspond with 



Kennicott Bros. Co., Chicago.

Are properly designed, durable and a source of great satisfaction to their owners.
