In his adi|ie~s a^ pre-,idi'nt nf the 

 assnei.at ion. whiidi followed, Otto I,;inu, 

 of Pallas, cnaiiiieiit I'd iirietly mi the 

 m;irked advance made by the tr.nle in 

 Texas nf late ve;ir^. 11" -.'lid : 



••|ll ve;ir^ none l.y I was told th.'il 

 it did lint p;.v tn ~lii]i cut flowers tn 

 Te\:is pniiit--. th.'it tlolistN did not ].av 

 their liills ,'ini| nfiised e. o. d. shi|i 

 iiieiits, ;iiid that the liu^ine--s vva.^ iin 

 profitable. The last lew years we have 

 found iiicre.-ised demand for tlnweiv. 

 new houses seeking the orders and with 

 better feeliii};. There have been some 

 cli;ingcs in the florists' methods of do 



iufj business. Where a few years afjo 

 flowers were shipped into Texas, they 

 are now shipped out of Texas. For in- 

 stance, the pladioli, the first outdoor 

 stock this year, came from Houston ter- 

 ritory, then later from Dallas, then 

 Irom Oklahomti. Rost's anil carnations 

 are j,n'owii in larfier (piantities and bet 

 ter ^'rades. f'hrysant heinums will be 

 yrown in larjie quantities and not so 

 many bought in California, where the 

 exjiress eats up all tlie profits. Asters 

 liav(> been grown liy us with good re 

 suits and should tie grown by anyone 

 who has water, as tliey only require a 

 little shade and some water. By late 

 sowing of the seed we shall have asters 

 until October, when the chrysanthe 

 niiims start. 



■'We note with pleasure what is a 

 sure sign of jirogress, that several new- 

 greenhouses are being built in San An 

 toiiio, Fort Worth, Dallas .and other 

 cities. .\ew firms have started in busi 

 iies.s. .■llld new members have enrolled in 

 mil' .'issociaf ion. .Mthoueh a h;ird year 

 has just p.assed, it c.'innot be s;ii(| to
