Various Notes. 



The news of the sudden death of the 

 veteran John Eoss, of Vermont ave- 

 nue, October 23, came as a shock to all 

 who had seen the aged gentleman 

 around his place in his usual health only 

 a few days before. Mr, Eoss was 82 

 years of age and had lived in Los An- 

 geles thirty-two years, having come 

 here from Toronto, Canada. He was a 

 well informed man on all gardening 

 and kindred subjects and until almost 

 the day of his death was around his 

 nursery and greenhouses. Mr. Eoss was 

 never better pleased than when anyone 

 who was interested and had a knowl' 

 edge of plant life would stop for a 

 ''crack" with him, and he had much of 

 interest to tell of early days. Several 

 sons and grandsons are in the business, 

 the best known, perhaps, being W. Eoss, 

 Ed. Eust's capable greenhouse foreman. 



J. Dieterich has ordered a new auto- 

 mobile, which he will doubtless find 

 useful. Mr. Dieterich is a busy man; 

 his "Wall street place, his interest in 

 the Dieterich & Turner and other prop- 

 erties at Montebello, and his many in- 

 terests outside the nursery business, 

 keep him always on the jump, and after 

 a long adherence to horse-flesh he has 

 had to give this up and take to the 

 time-saving auto. 



A. Baur, of the Baur Floral Co., Erie, 

 Pa., was calling on the trade here and 

 at Pasadena October 22. Mr. Baur has 

 had an extensive trip through the mid- 

 dle west and south and intended, when 

 here, to go to San Francisco and other 

 northern points. 



H. E. Huntington, railroad magnate 

 and patron of horticulture, has pur- 

 chased the Hotel Wentworth, at Oak 

 Knoll, and the extensive grounds wUl 

 all be landscaped and improved in the 

 same manner as those of his private 

 residence, close by. A big amount of 

 first-class nursery stock will be needed 

 and doubtless "William Hertrich will be 

 as successful in this as in the Hunting- 

 ton grounds. The two will make a 

 superb piece of planting, probably un- 

 rivaled in the whole of the great south- 

 west. 



A new service building is to be 

 erected at the Dieterich & Turner plant 

 at Montebello. This will include spa- 

 cious packing and potting sheds, a

WE COVER THE FIELD 



It is not necessary for a retailer to send to one firm for his flowers, another 

 for greens and another for supplies. We keep everything a retailer needs in 

 stock at all times, and we will appreciate your inquiries. We handle the entire 

 cut of 26 large growers of hothouse and outdoor cut flowers and keep in con- 

 stant touch with the largest and most exclusive eastern supply houses. Our 

 indoor greens are grown under our personal supervision, and we have control of 

 the best localities for wild stock, such as Mexican Ivy, Huckleberry, Ferns and 

 Moss. This is a combination hard to beat.

The Scotch heather at Morris Gol- 

 denson's has proved an excellent seller. 

 .Tohn Gordon says there are lots of 

 Scotchmen in Los Angeles and that 

 they are quite patriotic. 



Tassano Bros, have taken new prem- 

 ises at 121 East Fourth street and the 

 name of the firm will be changed to the 

 Los Angeles Evergreen & Flower Sup- 

 ply Co. The Hill street store will be 

 continued, at least until Christmas and 

 probably longer. The new place will 

 give much needed facilities for carry- 

 ing on the increasing business. 



The Los Angeles Flower Market re- 

 ports a good business. Mr. Morton 

 moves around quite a little in his Buick 

 and the personal touch helps out in in- 

 creased business. Shipping to out-of- 

 town points has increased considerably 

 of late. 



A. F. Borden says that the Eedondo 

 Floral Co. is doing more business now 

 at the Spring street store than the 

 Second street and Spring street stores 

 combined did at this time last year. 



The Pasadena flower show called for 

 a lot of decorative material and the 

 H. N. Gage Co. had a large share of 

 this. The firm was entirely sold out 

 of valley, orchids and Cecil Brunner 

 roses for Society night, October 25.

 much better for the change. He re- 

 ports an excellent time motoring over 

 the fine roads around Elsinore and near- 

 by points, and he brought back evi- 

 dences of his skill as a hunter. Busi- 

 ness keeps up well at the store. 



J. J. Broomall, the dahlia specialist 

 of Eagle Rock, is sending in choice cuts 

 of cactus and decorative dahlias. He 

 grows 600 varieties, all showy, good 

 ones, fine for cutting. 



S. Murata ships large quantities of 

 stock to Texas and says his consignees 

 are well pleased with the way his flow- 

 ers arrive. Outside of the shipping 

 trade, he keeps two automobiles busy 

 delivering around the city. 



The Chandler funeral made a lot 

 of work for J. W. Welters, October 22,
