LOS ANGELES NOTES. 



[Concluded from page 78] 



cleans up v^ell. C. Morton expects to 

 handle about 650,000 daffodils this year. 



H. Reeve Darling is genuinely pleased 

 v(rith business conditions generally and 

 has had a wonderful run of trade at the 

 Hayward Floral Co. 's store. A good 

 deal of credit is due to Bert Kateman, 

 his capable and artistic designer. 



The usual monthly meeting of the 

 Los Angeles County Horticultural So/ 

 ciety vi^as held January 2. The primi- 

 pal business was the election of officers, 

 which resulted as follows: Theodore 

 Payne, president; E. R. Reese, vice-pres- 

 ident; Chas. Winsel, treasurer, and 

 H. W. Kruckeberg, secretary. There 

 was a paper and considerable discussion 

 on "Landscape Gardening in Califor- 

 nia," and the park commission came in 

 for some rather hard knocks. A pub- 

 licity committee was named by the pres- 

 ident, consisting of Henry W. Krucke- 

 berg, H. R. Richards and F. D. Barn- 

 hart. 



The H. N. Gage Co. was fortunate 

 in not having the carnations frozen, 

 the grounds at Hollywood being' in the 

 frostless belt. This firm has contracted 

 for the cut of roses from Speakman 

 Bros.' new place at Lawndale, and fine 

 Killarneys, of good size, stem and color, 

 are arriving. A large and varied line 

 of florists' supplies is carried here. 



Dieterich & Turner's new house, 50 x 

 300 feet, is now finished at Montebello, 

 and another rose house, 60 x 300 feet, 

 is to be built this spring, the glass be- 

 ing already on the ground. A large 

 cement oil tank, to hold 500 barrels of 

 crude oil, is being built on high ground, 

 so that the oil will feed the boilers by 

 gravity, without pumping. Another 

 large piece of ground has been pur- 

 chased and a range of plant houses is 

 among the possibilities here. The prog- 

 ress made by this firm is remarkable 

 and everything done is carried out on 

 up-to-date commercial lines. 



J. N. Grant is making a tour of Ari- 

 zona with the Grant planting pot, a 

 paper pot specially designed for the 

 growth of young stock of palms, euca- 

 lyptus and other plants that are propa- 

 gated in large numbers. The pot is 

 already in use by the government forest 

 service and is similar to the bamboo 

 pots used in India's forest service, with 

 which Mr. Grant was formerly con- 

 nected. H, R. R. 



Hoopeston, HI. — Andrew Peterson, 

 who conducts a large range of green- 

 houses aBr4, has also bought the green- 

 houses at Gibson, HI., paying for them 

 something over $16,000. He formerly 

 owned greenhouses in Paxton.
