The Weekly Florists^ Review^ 



July 12. 1006. 



NORTHERN TEXAS. 



Weather conditions are the best — 

 bright, warm sunshine, with just enough 

 air stirring to keep from being un- 

 comfortable. Stock plants are coming 

 along finely, especially carnations and 

 mums, which seem to thrive in this cli- 

 mate. In a trip of several days dura^.. 

 tion, I have had an opportunity to study 

 conditions closely, and my impression is 

 that much better success could be secured 

 by a closer application to details, to- 

 gether with a study of prevailing con- 

 ditions, which in my opinon can be easily 

 overcoma 



The soil is the most productive I have 

 ever had the good fortune to encounter, 

 crops coming" lip with little" if any atten- 

 tion. This being the case, the habit of 

 leaving the soil in its natural state, 

 without any fertilizer, year after year, 

 trusting too much in the soil renewing 

 itself, brings with it the inevitable re- 

 sult, a gradual decline in its productive- 

 ness. 



Those places which I have seen so 

 far, where the gardener, or planter, scat- 

 tered the manure over the ground, in 

 place of hauling it to fill up some ditch 

 or enlly in the road, are easily distin- 



fuishable from the lands of ' the gar- 

 ener, who * ' lets well enotrgh alone, ' ' 

 by the large crops raised. The same 

 conditions are noticeable in our line. 



Tairing a flying trip to McKinney, the 

 county seat of Collin county, your corre- 

 spondent visited G. Taylor, of that place. 

 Mr. Taylor has been very unfortunate 

 lately, having a sick wife, and only a 

 few days before I visited him, a cloud- 

 burst almost inundated his place. Mr. 

 Taylor is an affable gentleman, and I 

 was glad that I became acquainted with 

 him. 



The Texas Nursery Co. is busy erect- 

 ing a new house, and when it is finished 

 this firm will have one of the best plants 

 in this section. Narcissus. 



Hamilton, Ont. — McLeod Bros, are 

 rapidly rebuilding after the demolition 

 of their place in the recent cyclone. 

 They are putting the houses in much 

 better shape than before. The Webster 

 Floral Co. is also making repairs 

 and improvements.
