The Weekly Florists' Review^ 



June 7, 1900. 



NORTHERN TEXAS. 



Weather conditions are becoming more 

 favorable and plants are showing the 

 effects. In my nine months' experience 

 in Texas I have learned several things, 

 among them being that tlie method of 

 growing in the north must be reversed 

 here. The sun shining more than in the 

 north, the east and west plan of build- 

 ing will not answer so well. During the 

 winter the mercury would register 70 

 degrees and in a few hours would drop 

 to 30 degrees. I find that too close watch 

 cannot be kept, and that one must be 

 alive to these changes and act quickly. 



Mums are being planted on the 

 benches this week, and stock is in fine 

 shape. 



1 have an idea that solid beds would 

 grow better carnations than raised 

 benches, as the solid beds would have a 

 tendency to keep the roots cool, where- 

 as the Ijenches soon dry out. 



Asters are coming in bloom and sweet 

 peas are a sight. Herbaceous stock is 

 giving promise of fulfilling the faith 

 placed in it. 



Landscape work is showing an upward 

 tendency and several large contracts 

 have been placed for next winter and 

 spring. 



Great interest is being taken in the 

 nurserymen 's convention at Dallas and 

 a vast amount of good will be done. 



Things in Dallas change so quickly 

 that it bewilders one. I understand 

 that the Dallas Bazaar has changed 

 hands and ie now controlled by the Dal- 

 las Floral Co. Also that Col. Green has 

 been buying up some of the other plants. 

 Fine progress is being made on the plant 

 of Col. Green, several houses being al- 

 most completed. Large quantities of 

 stock are being bought and no effort is 

 being spared to make it the finest plant 

 in the south. Narcissus. 



Calumet, Mich. — This is one of the 

 localities where bedding begins late, and 

 at the Lutey Greenhouses the rush is just 

 beginning. Trade has all season been 

 heavier than ever before, and Mr. Jensen, 

 who has charge of the plant, has a large 

 stock, but it looks as if it will all go 

 out at good prices. 



We couldn't get along without the 

 Eeview. — E. A. Humfeld, Kansas City,
