With the exception of a few of the tenderer shrubs, 

 everything is grown here as well as in East Texas, and 

 apples, grapes and some other fruits grow better and 

 acquire higher color and flavor, owing to a less humid 

 atmosphere. In this belt belong the cosmopolitan little 

 cities of Texarkana, Paris, Sherman, Denison and 

 Gainesville, in which are found many beautiful resi- 

 dences and grounds, many orchtirds, vineyards, and 

 berry plantations. Railway facilities are excellent, and
