The Florists^ Review 



February 12, 1914. 



attractive list of tlieir roses and other 

 specialties, grown at Montebello. The 

 packing season is now in full swing 

 there and keeps all busy. 



Jacob Dieterich received a carload of 

 Japanese stock recently, including ex- 

 cellent aspidistras and prostrate juni- 

 pers. 



C. Winsel reports business improving 

 along all lines and he keeps his trucks 

 busy between the store and his two 

 nurseries, one at Washington street, the 

 other at Montebello. 



Theodore Payne has made extensive 

 improvements at his store, including a 

 new balcony, which provides mucli 

 needed additional space. 



Death, the great levelor, visited the 

 liome of H. X. Gage February 1, remov- 

 ing one of nature 's gentlewomen in the 

 person of Mrs. Gage. I am sure that 

 nothing that has happened for many 

 years has cast such a gloom over our 

 market as this sad event, and the world 

 is the poorer for the loss of a true 

 woman. A devoted mother to her child, 

 a helpmate in the truest sense of 

 that good old word to her husband and 

 51 loving companion to her parents, Adah 

 Littel Gage will long be remembered 

 and mourned by them. Knowing her as 

 we all did, it is impossible to do jus- 

 tice to her splendid and noble character. 

 I*ersonally 1 can only offer the sincerest 

 sympathy of which I am capable to Mr. 

 <iage and Mr. and Mrs. Littel, in the 

 hope that time will soon soften their 

 great affliction. Mrs. Ga^e was 29 

 years of age. The funeral, February 3, 

 was largely attended and many striking 

 and beautiful pieces were sent by 

 friends. 



The usual monthly meeting of the Los 

 Angeles County Horticultural Society 

 was held at Kruckeberg's hall February 

 '•'<. The attendance was not as good as 

 usual, and this was unfortunate, as the 

 paper, or rather informal talk, by D. "W. 

 Coolidge, of Pasadena, on ' ' Tropical 

 Fruits in California," was a most inter- 

 esting and instructive one. Mr. Cool- 

 idge pointed out how few of the really 

 tropical species and varieties are 

 really suitable for this climate, and at 

 the same time he recommended others 

 of a hardier type, such as the feijoa. 

 There was an interesting discussion af- 

 terward, in which many of the mem- 

 bers took part. A proposal to lower the 

 dues of the society was held over for 

 fuller. discussion and a motion to ad- 

 journ was carried earlier than usual. 



Walter Armacost & Co. are sending 

 in exceedingly good winter sweet peas, 

 in a number of colors. Those in the 

 rose-pink and salmon shades are par- 

 ticularly fine. They are of Zvolanek's 

 famous types of winter Spencers. Some 

 elegant Lilium Harrisii are also coming 

 from this firm. 



T. F. M. Williamson keeps up an ele- 

 gant window show at the corner of 

 Figueroa and Washington streets and 

 says he is well satisfied with business 

 this season. These window displays are 

 perhaps the best form of advertising 

 and Mr. Williamson has kept it up ever 

 since he started business. 



J. W. Wolters' store was unusually 

 attractive last week, the window being 

 finely decorated with a number of tree 

 branches, such as almond, peach and 

 cherry. 



The Los Angeles Flower Market has 

 fitted up the new store in fine shape 

 and both C. Morton and F. Sperry ex- 

 pressed themselves as more than pleased 

 with business done so far.
