■ Many of our readers will remem- 

 bei the pleasantly written and instruc- 

 ti^ articles on nursery management 

 aU' propagation contributed to these 

 col linns some years ago by Thomas 

 BU'iyard, over the nom de plume 'Bx- 

 pej ence,' and they will join us in 

 coiu'iatulating Mr, and Mrs. Bunyard 

 on he celebration of their golden wed- 

 ding this month. Of their fourteen 

 chi Iren some are settled abroad, but 

 niii were able to be present to cele- 

 br.'tie the event. Four of Mr. Bun- 

 yai I "s sons, Messrs. Harry, Percy, Ar-

THE TEXAS CODE. 



At the recent meeting of the Texas 

 State Florists' Association, the follow- 

 ing resolution was i)resented by H. O. 

 Hannah, of Sherman. It prevailed: 



"Kesolved, that our president and 

 secretary use their best efforts to secure 

 more wholesale growers of cut flowers 

 and ])lants, and to induce one or more 

 large florists' supply houses to locate in 

 our state, thereby reducing our large 

 expense account, both on freight and ex- 

 press; and, furthermore, we encourage 

 and })atronize such wholesale growers 

 and insist that all wholesale growers 

 or firms sell their stock to the trade, 

 their patrons, and not to private in- 

 Jividuals or to department stores, there- 

 by diverting and injuring the legiti- 

 niate trade that should and does belong 

 to the patrons of all whojesale firms."

WEED KILLER 



THE VEKY NEWEST AND QOKKEST mWb OF DESTIOYING WEEDS, GRASS AND 

 OTHER GROWTH IN GARDEN WALKS, GUTTERS. TENNIS COURTS, DRIVEWAYS, ETC. 



This fluid absolutely destroys all weeds and other growths wher- 

 ever applied, and its effect on the ground prevents the growth of 

 fresh ones for a year and thus sayes a great deal of time and labor, 

 as no cutting, hoeing or hauling away of the weeds is required.
