NORTHERN TEXAS. 



After almost three months without 

 rain in this section, a good soaking rain 

 visited us October 18 and with warm 

 sunshine a banner crop of outdoor roses 

 is expected. This time of the year roses 

 out of doors are at their best and conse- 

 quently the florist suffers. Social func- 

 tions use the flowers which the neighbors 

 grow and, were it not for funeral work, 

 there would be little doing. The suc- 

 cessful growing of winter roses is as yet 

 but a dream, every effort so far result- 

 ing in failure. But it is hoped that by 

 persistent effort obstacles may be over- 

 come and that it will be but a question 

 of a short time when roses will be grown 

 here. 



Carnations seem to revel in this cli- 

 mate and some very fine ones are being 

 grown. But stem-rot has ravaged some 

 of the houses in this section, some grow- 

 ers being forced to replant over two- 

 thirds of their stock. Lilium Harrisii is 

 looking well, but the California calla 

 is almost a failure. Ten-weeks stocks 

 grow in tibundance and are used for 

 funeral work. Mums are grown practic- 

 ally outdoors and are very fine. Pri«es 

 are low as yet, but when the roses are 

 gouQ prices will jump and times will be 

 better. 



Your correspondent visited the Mun- 

 son plant at Denison, but was disap- 

 pointed by not finding Mr. Munson at 

 home. He has a very neat place of about 

 4,000 feet in which he grows carnations 

 and general stock. He is better known 

 as a nurseryman, having one of the larg- 

 est establishments of its kind in this sec- 

 tion of the country. 



In Sherman there are two plants, one 

 the Texas Nursery Co., consists of four 

 houses, two in carnations, one in mums 

 and the other house is used for propagat- 

 ing and general stock. This company, as 

 its name implies, is chiefly devoted to the 

 growing of nursery stock and does not 

 cut much figure in floriculture as yet, 

 but it will grow. 



The other plant is owned by H. O. 

 Hannah & Son, who have been in the 

 business about eight years and have 

 about 7,000 feet of glass in which they 

 grow carnations, mums and general 

 stock. Mr. Hannah does a very largo 

 decorating business and an immense 

 business in funeral work, having almost

the entire trade of the surrounding coun- 

 try and Indian Territory. Mr. Hannah 

 is a progressive man, who went into the 

 business as a pastime, but it has grown 

 to such proportions that he found it 

 necessary to give up his other business 

 and devote his time to growing exclu- 

 sively, until at the present time it takes 

 five men to handle the trade. 



The state fair to be held at Dallas, 

 commencing October 28, will give the 

 florists of northern Texas a chance to 

 show what they can do. If the florists 

 of this section will get together they 

 could find plenty of ways to get their 

 goods before the public and by meet- 

 ing, say once a month, will soon be able 

 to better educate the people to buy noth- 

 ing but first-class stuff and there will 

 be less waste. I trust the boys in Dallas 

 will help take the matter up and help the 

 good work along. Narcissus.

 member of the firm of Currie Bros. Co.,
