HOUSTON, TEX. 



Preparations are being made for the 

 state flower show to be held here next 

 November. Although this is to be the 

 first ever held in this state, from pres- 

 ent indications it will be a big affair 

 and draw a large attendance. Every 

 branch of the industry is to be repre- 

 sented and exhibits are promised by 

 florists all over the state, to compete 

 for the prizes on the big premium list. 

 The local clubs in the various cities are 

 taking particular interest and are do- 

 ing their share to make the show a 

 success. The committee decided to hold 

 it the last three days of the carnival, 

 as this will be the time to get the big- 

 gest results. 



The Houston Florists' Club met Mon- 

 day night, May 18, and discussed sev- 

 eral matters in connection with the 

 flower show. An amendment to the con- 

 stitution was passed, giving a broader 

 scope to the club's work. 



June weddings give promise of a 

 large business for H. H. Kuhlman, from 

 the number of orders booked. Gladiolus 

 is selling quite well and profitably. Mr. 

 Kuhlman is contemplating many im- 

 provements at his nursery grounds and 

 plans to erect a large range of glass 

 soon. 



Present business is good at the For- 

 estdale Nurseries and John J. Boyle, 

 the manager, reports the outlook for 

 June good, as wedding work will be 

 large. Mrs. Hohenke, who has been 

 turning out work for eighteen years, 

 has a wide reputation in this line. 



Several changes are being made at 

 the Brazos Hotel Greenhouses, and the 

 manager, Mr. Hewitt, and his gfrower 

 expect to have stock in fine shape by 

 fall.

The Market. 



Business for Memorial day was fully 

 up to the usual volume, if not better. 

 The weather was fine, except that it 

 was too warm. Considerable funeral 

 work had to be done at the same time 

 and it kept everyone on the go. There 

 were quantities of outdoor flowers in 

 the market. The quality would have 

 been better if it had not been for the 

 dry, hot weather. Peonies, however, 

 were good and there were plenty of 

 them. Boses and carnations were of 

 fair quality and in good supply. 



Various Notes. 



June was the twenty-sixth day with- 

 out rain. 



Julius Niednagel & Sons made a floral 

 boat for the Veterans of the Spanish 

 War, which was sunk in the Ohio river.
