the oranges and lemons grown here have
never been injured. The oranges are of
superior flavor and appearance, state
ment that Is verified by the fact that
Sunny Slope oranges" have an enviable
reputation and com mand the top prices

the lemons. The ueciduous fruits of all
kinds yield abundantly and are as fine as
can be grown, while walnuts. almonds
and olives are especially thriving. The
company received worlds fair medals
for the choice old wines exhibited. Their
oranges have been awarded numerous
prizes at the Southern California citrus
fairs and last season the second prize tor
olive oil was won. Their olive oil. as all
other liquid products, is known for It's
absolute purity. The raising of berries
and vegetables. the keeping of chickens

making livelihood while his young fruit

On the first day of January, 1887. Mr..
Rose transferred this princely property to
the L. j. Rose d Co., limited, for the
snug sum OF 81, 00U. 0o0. Mr.. Bichowsky
was made manager in 1889. He had been
connecte with the ranch for some years
previous to this time and was. even then,
thoroughly familiar with viticulture and
horticulture. Under his management
many important changes in the m amer
OF operation of the plant have been in.
troducd and tho efficiency of the working
resources greatly enhanced. Besides this,
the acreage of citrus and deciduous trees
has been increased, while at the same
time the product of the plant has grown
in fame and the demand increases accor-
ingly. Under the direction of the COM
pany, Mr.. Bichowski hasssz bdivided por-
tions OF the tract. placed them upon the
market and disposed of them. The
northern portion of the tract lying ad-
jacent to Lamanda park, and but three
miles east OF Pasadena, was the first to
be sold. Messrs. Easton. sEldridge & Co.
of Los Angeles, have the agency for the
sale Of this land. and have had ready
purchasers. for the land is the most de-
sirable in the San Gabriel valley.
A part OF this subdivision is but 200
feet from Colorado street, the main
thoroughfare east from Pasadena. and
San Pasqual street is to be extended east
from the oity through the center of the
tract. This subdivision is not under the

five years later he sold the trnct to its
present proprietors, it then being about
one-half Improved by the planting of
vineyards and orchards. The ranch as
1t is today is three and half m lies from
north to south by about one and a half
miles wide, and comprises 1850 acres. OF
this amount 1900 acres are under cult va
tion, 6i0 acres OF which are in vines, $50
acres in orange groves, 80 acres in lemon
trees, $50 acres in orchards OF deciduous
fruits, 80 acres IN walnut trees and
considerable acreage IS devoted to oats,
barley and corn. An avenue five. e.eighths
OF lmile in length, lined upon either
side by four rows ui orange trees which
are So years old, is one of the attractive
features OF this ost attractive spot. In
1853 Mr.. Rose esta blished the first winery
OF the San Gabriel valley upon this ran ch,
and it is from that establishment that the
present mammoth disfillery has grown.
"he present capacity can only be meas
ured by using large numerals. 1t has a ca
pacity OF producing annually half million
gallons of sweet wines and $780, 900 gallons
OF grape brandy. The cold storage ca
pscity for wines is l, 800 900 gallons.
The products of the Sunny Slope vim
cry have an enviaple reputation both in
this country and in Europe. There are
vintages dating from 1873 down and the
varieties Of goods in stock com prise the
following popular wines: Port, sherry,
angelica, Tokay, Muscat, Madeira and
others, together with different vintages of
prandes. The wines of Sunny Slope are
made only from pure grape Juice, forti-
fled by grape brandies, lie the brandes
are double copper distilled, two facts
which have com mbined to give the pro-
ducts OF this famous winery prestige in
every market in America.
This company has agencies in all the
principal eastern cities for the sale of its
wines and brandies, excepting some Of
the moro choice of its rare old vintages,
which can only be obtained direct from

The sales rooms of the distillery nre
