HENRY F. MICHELL COMPANY, ll^!I.St.,li: 



WALTER MOTT'S NOTES BY THE 

 WAY. 



San Antonio, Texas. 

 The long continued drought has at 

 last been broken, bountiful showers 

 having fallen through the entire state. 

 Vegetation revived and a good second 

 picking of cotton is predicted. Grand 

 old specimens of Chamaerops excelsa 

 and Washingtonia filifera have with- 

 stood the drought and even Latania 

 Borbonica has come through well. 

 Gorgeous beds of cannas planted 

 around the Alamo and San Jose Mis- 

 sions are in a perfect blaze of bloom. 

 Alphonse Bouvier is used for back- 

 ground, Chas. Henderson, J. D. Eisele 

 and Chicago for scarlets; Sou v. de 

 Antoine Crozy, Queen Charlotte and 

 Florence Vaughan are in the list of 

 old favorites. Tarrytown makes a 

 fine bedder, while everyone recognizes 

 King Humbert at sight — it is simply 

 magnificent. Very attractive is a 

 hedge of Euonymus radicans variega- 

 ta surrounding the new post office 

 building. It is 3 feet high and almost 

 as much through. Ficus repens is 

 very striking against the gray stone 

 structure. 



The w'hite periwinkle is much used 

 by the florists; the single bloom is 

 bunched and wired making an excel- 

 lent substitute for carnations, being 

 at its best before the latter come into 

 crop. White Wonder is the most pop- 

 ular white carnation in the southwest. 

 It has withstood the drought very well 

 and is doing finely planted inside 

 early. The use of window boxes is on 

 the increase, using up all the surplus 

 stock; in fact, there was a scarcity be- 

 fore the season ended. While much 

 artificial stock is used in some decora- 

 tions there does not seem to be any 

 danger of the real article being super- 

 seded for fine work. 



During Recess 



Joseph Breck & Son's Employees. 



About 150 employees of Joseph 

 Breck & Son of Boston were the 

 guests of the Breck-Robinson Com- 

 pany at their nurseries in Lexington, 

 Mass , on Sept. 13. Charles H. Breck, 

 president of the firm, was present and 

 gave his touring car for the use of the 

 women to carry them over the large 

 estate. The party arriving here found 

 lunch awaiting them. A. E. Robinson, 

 general manager of the nurseries, re- 

 ceived the company. After lunch and 

 a trip about the nurseries the party 

 repaired to a large field where some 

 athletic sports were enjoyed. A base- 

 ball game between teams representing 

 the Boston store and the nursery last- 

 ed seven innings, resulting in a vic- 

 tory for the nursery team. 19 to 6. A 

 game of baseball for women was then 

 started and a team captained by Miss 

 Mary Collins faced one captained by 

 Miss Jennie McCarthy. Miss Collins' 

 team won. 6 to 3. The field events 

 were then held. The summary: 



Ladies' Race — Won by Miss Josie 

 Kilduff; Miss Jennie McCarthy, sec- 

 ond. 



Married Men's Race — Won by Alec 

 Joiner; .Tames Carroll, second. 



Three-Legged Race, man and woman 

 having ankles strapped together — Won 

 by Alec Werner and Miss Elizabeth 

 Dillon. 



After the games a general good time 

 was held, after which the party was 

 conveyed to Boston in special electric 

 cars.
