iantly. Asters, gladioli, tuberoses, dah- 

 lias and, in fact, nearly all soft-wooded 

 stock must be grown in shade houses to 

 get good results. 



Roses out of doors are at their best 

 in October and November. Geraniums, 

 except in sandy soil, do not do well, 

 and, if grown at all in this kind of soil, 

 must be grown in the coolest place that 

 can be found. We have four different 

 kinds of soil here: light sandy, dark 

 sandy, gray loam, and what is known 

 here as black waxy; the latter soil is 

 considered the most valuable and farms 

 of that variety of soil command the best 

 prices. Land is very cheap, considering 

 the prices obtained north, but whatever 

 growing is done must be done early in 

 the spring or late in the fall. 

 Vegetables, with the possible excep- 

 tion of sweet potatoes, will not 

 keep in this climate, and the man will 

 be lucky who can devise a means to keep 

 vegetables during the winter. 



The plant of H. O. Hannah & Son, 

 of Sherman, recently caught fire from 



some unknown cause, but supposed to be 

 due to defective electrical construction. 

 The fire occurred early in the morning, 

 and destroyed the boiler room and a 

 large stock of seeds and bulbs which 

 were stored there. Fortunately, the wind 

 was blowing away from the greenhouses 

 and there was very little loss to growing 

 stock. Mr. Hannah CfV-ried no insurance. 



0. C. Mayhew, manager of the Texas 

 Nursery Co., of Sherman, was one of the 

 visitors from this section at the carna- 

 tion convention at Boston. 



The event of the season in a social 

 way here is the annual reception given 

 by' the Kidd-Key Female College, of 

 Sherman, on Washington's birthday. 

 Mrs. Key, the head of the institution, 

 used this year over 200 pounds of smilax, 

 from fifty to sixty palms, 200 roses and 

 about 400 carnations, not saying any- 

 thing of various pot-plants for decora- 

 tive purposes. H. O. Hannah & Son 

 have filled the bill now for a number 

 of years and have filled the order again 

 this vear. Narcissus. 



CLEVELAND. 



The Market. 



Business the past week has been fine, 

 and all kinds of stock moved at good 

 prices. The demand kept the whole- 

 salers busy hunting for stock, and send- 

 ing out to the greenhouses for stock to 

 fill special orders. 



Various Notes. 



Mr. Smith, of the firm of Smith & 

 Fetters, is on a business trip in the east, 

 and was last heard from in New York. 



James Eastwell, of the same firm, is 

 taking a short vacation, which leaves 

 Mr. Pruzen in charge of the store, with 

 more work than it seems possible for 

 one man to look after. 



H. E. Carlton, the originator of the 

 Herrick violet, is sending the Cleveland 

 Cut Flower Co. some of the finest blooms 

 seen this season, and the demand is 

 larger than the supply. The Herrick 

 violet is certainly a very free bloomer;
