The Weekly Florists^ Review* 



Febbuaby 22, 1906. 



NORTHERN TEXAS. 



We have had disagreeable weather the 

 past week. Rain followed by cold 

 weather has been the rule here lately, 

 but I am told there will be no more 

 winter after this month, and then we 

 can look for genuine spring. Valen- 

 tine 's day was a red-letter day in this 

 section, flowers taking the place of 

 valentines, and reports from this section 

 indicate a large business in both plants 

 and cut blooms. Stock is looking well 

 and although there are some large cuts, 

 the demand is more than the supply. 

 Some very fine carnations are being 

 grown in this section, both in east and 

 west, as well as in north and south 

 houses, and with wholly different treat- 

 ment. First-class stock is being grown 

 with plants kept on the dry side, and 

 first-class stock grown with soil the re- 

 verse; one with liquid manure as a fer- 

 tilizer, the other with the commercial 

 article, so it is hard to tell yet which 

 method will win out. Constant agitation 

 is bringing results and the demand is in- 

 creasing, not for quantity as formerly, 

 but for quality, regardless of price. 

 What few roses are being grown in this 

 section are better than expected. Some 

 very good stock is grown, but the great 

 majority has proved a failure so far. 



Narcissi and bulbous stock on account 

 of the excessive warm weather the past 

 few weeks are pushing too fast and it 

 will be a question whether there will be 

 any for Easter. The same also is true 

 of Harrisii. Callas this year are almost 

 a failure; whether it is the excessive 

 dampness of the atmosphere, or whether 

 the fault lies in the bulbs is hard to de- 

 termine as yet. Some good valley is be- 

 ing grown and the demand is increasing 

 satisfactorily. There has been so little 

 of what is grown" in the north grown 

 here that customers are not familiar 

 with it and it will take some time to 

 convince them that these are good things 

 to grow. Bedding stock is looking fine 

 and the indications are for a good trade 

 in the spring. 



Mr. Farley, of Denison, reports good 

 business the past week in funeral work. 



Mr. Munson, of Denison, had a rush 

 of funeral work last week, there being 

 three funerals of prominent people there, 

 and all the available stock to be had was 

 sold easily. 



H. O. Hannah & Son, of Sherman, 

 had a busy time Valentine's day. They 

 sold all the stock on hand early in the 

 day and good prices were realized. 



We understand that a new firm will 

 commence to build a range of houses in 

 the spring at McKinney. Who the par- 

 ties are we cannot say at present but ex- 

 pect to in the next letter.
