The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Jlne20, 1901. 



DALLAS, TEXAS. 



Trade still continues jtoocI in floral 

 work and dccoi-ations. Commencement 

 exercises create a good demand. Cut 

 flowers are scarce, especially good buds 

 and carnations are on the decline. In 

 the house 105 degrees in the shade is not 

 exactly the temperature to produce large 

 flowers on plants that have been in con- 

 stant bloom since September last. 

 JIums look fine and we shall have a 

 pretty good showing for fall. Two 

 houses 2.30.\20 are planted for single 

 stem and one house 20.\130 is in pots for 

 store sale plants. 



Field carnations are looking fine, hav- 

 ing been pinched back for the third time. 

 Outside roses are fine and we shall be 

 cutting fine Beauties from outside in a 

 few weeks. One block of young teas, 

 30,000, for fall sales, are the best we 

 ever had. If we get a little rain ofi' 

 and on until fall the grounds of the 

 Texas Seed & Floral Co. will be worth 

 quite a trip to see. 



We are building some houses 150x20 

 to be planted this fall to carnations and 

 roses for next spring blopming. These 

 houses are to be what we term sash 

 houses and are built with open or mov- 

 able sides and movable sash roof. In the 

 winter we close up the sides and put on 

 the sash roof removing same in spring 

 and replacing the glass with a coarse 

 lath shade. This protects the flowers 

 from the hot sun rays and enables us 

 to cut fine flowers for this season. We 

 have one house of sweet peas that have 

 been handled this way. We sow the peas 

 in December and have a fine cut in for 

 Easter. 



We have several large lath shaded 

 frames that we use for plunging plants 

 under in summer but we find the cool 

 houses a great convenience as we can 

 remove the glass and have virtually a 

 summer treatment with the advantage 

 of the glass for early starting up. We 

 made solid beds in all of these houses. 

 The house we had to sweet peas was 

 200 feet long and contained eight rows 

 of peas trained to wire fence and you 

 never saw a finer show. Our northern 

 brothers could not miss it to give this 

 style of house a trial. We use no steam 

 pipe in these houses. They are run cool 

 and we keep sash open all the time pos- 

 sible through the winter months.

At the last meeting of the Utiea Flor- 

 ists' Club four candidates were admit- 

 ted to membership and five applications 

 for membership were received. The mat- 

 ter of the flower show to be held in the 

 fall was informally discussed, but action 

 concerning the arrangements was de- 

 ferred until the next meeting, which 

 will be held on July 11 instead of July 

 4, the regular date.
