TEXAS STATE FLORISTS' ASSOCIA- 

 TION. 



The fifth annual convention of the 

 Texas State Florists' Association is 

 now a matter of history. Although no 

 special rates had been made by the 

 railroads, yet about 65 of the Texas 

 fiorists were in attendance at Austin. 

 The treasurer's report showed that the 

 Association was fairly prosperous 

 from a financial standpoint, as the 

 treasury yet had in it enough funds 

 to pay all outstanding accounts and 

 contribute $50.00 toward the S. A. F. 

 Publicity fund and yet leave ample 

 funds to bear all expenses of the as- 

 sociation for another year. 



Mr. X. O. Hannah, of Sherman. Pre»- 



ident; Mr. J. H. Davis, of Forth Worth, 

 Vice-President; Mr. L. J. Tackett, Aus- 

 tin, Sec.-Treas.; Mr. Chas. Alff, Sr., 

 Austin, and Mr. E. W. Judge, Tyler, 

 new Directors; Mrs. E. W. Judge, Ty- 

 ler, Texas, Press Representative; and 

 Miss Bird, of Denison, Educational 

 Director. 



NEW BOOKS. 

 Smith's Chrysanthemum Manual, 



Fourth Edition. 

 Smith's Chrysanthemum Manual, is- 

 sued this year, is one of the most 

 valuable new publications of the kind 

 which a chrysanthemum grower can 

 possess. It embodies all the good 

 material of the previous editions, with 



much extra matter. Many of the im- 

 portant chapters have been revised 

 and enlarged so as to embrace more 

 complete details. Considering the 

 fact that Mr. Smith has given his un- 

 divided attention for twenty-five years 

 to the improvement of the chrysan- 

 themum and its culture, it is not 

 strange that his book should be of 

 value, not only to the florist but also 

 to the gardener,. Besides relying upon 

 his own work and observations. Mr. 

 Smith has had the advantage of other 

 men's experience, particularly that of 

 T. D. Hatfield, of the Hunnewell 

 estate in Wellesley. One of the par- 

 ticularly good illustrations is a speci- 

 men plant grown by I. L. Powell, at 

 Millbrook, N*. Y.
