LOS ANGELES, NOTES.

fluenza, but Mr. Gutting and their daugh- 

 ter arc reported improving. 



After repeated setbacks, owing to in- 

 fluenza and closing orders, it has finally 

 been decided to open the Liberty fair 

 November 23, and the flower show com- 

 mittee has been called upon for a hurry- 

 up decision as to dates and exhibits. 

 Naturally with such a short time to pre- 

 pare, and in view ot the fact that much 

 of the stock has passed its prime, the 

 members had a hard row to hoe, espe- 

 cially as T. Wright, the former chair- 

 man, had to be out of town, and C. Gut- 

 ting, one of the real hustlers, was down 

 with influenza. This left it up to F, R. 

 Hills, F. Lichtenberg and H. R. Rich- 

 ards to lick the thing into shape, which 

 they hope to do by the opening date of 

 the flower show, November 27. Many of 

 those who promised to exhibit suffered 

 from chill in the pedal extremities, but 

 others are standing loyally by their 

 promises. Dahlias being out of the mar- 

 ket and the mums so nearly gone, will of 

 course greatly diminish the display. 



Preparedness is always a virtue and
