NORTHERN TEXAS. 



Ideal spring weather is the thing in 

 this section of the country just now, the 

 mercury going to 70 degrees, vegetation 

 starting to grow, trees bursting and 

 shrubs almost in full leaf. They tell 

 me here that spring has begun, and 

 everything points that way. Outdoor 

 bulbs are coming up, and stock is being 

 bought for planting. Trade is pushing 

 fine here, and reports from different sec- 

 tions of this country give a very flatter- 

 ing report. The only complaint so far 

 is that there was not enough stock 

 bought in the fall to fill the orders, and 

 trade with seed and bulb men will be 

 increased to a great extent. 



Sweet peas, out of doors, which were 

 planted last November, are putting on 

 good growth and, unless there should 

 come a sudden freeze, will be soon 

 blooming. Stock for Easter is far ad- 

 vanced and it will be a hard matter to 

 keep things back to have them in for 

 that day. Good prices are being real- 

 ized and first-class stock is in demand. 



These at one time were all 30-cent 

 towns, but by persistent effort and by 

 growing nothing but the best, they have 

 reached the dignity of $1 places. In- 

 ferior stock is never sought, and the 

 florist who grows that class of plants 

 would have no opportunity to sell it. 

 From $1.50 to $2 is being received for 

 roses. Carnations bring 75 cents and 

 $1. Dutch hyacinths are fine and from 

 35 cents to 50 cents a bloom is easily 

 realized. Callas are scarce and looking 

 badly. Narcissus, what little there is 

 on the market, brings from 50 cents to 

 75 cents. Tulips sell at 75 cents to $1; 

 valley, $1.50; Von Sion, 75 cents; 

 mignonette, 35 cents, and everything 

 good goes. 



The nursery men all through this sec- 

 tion are busy with their spring orders, 

 and planting seedling trees. Keports 

 from the nursery men say that this has 

 been the best year they have had, and 

 indications are for a large business the 

 coming year. Narcissus. 



ORANGE, N. J. 



The regular monthly meeting of the 

 New Jersey Horticultural Society was 

 held March 2. A paper on "Trent- 

 ham," the seat of the Duke of Souther- 

 land, recently presented by him to the 

 British people for purposes of higher 

 education, was given by George Austin, 

 who had a personal acquaintance with 

 these surroundings for twenty years. 



The floral display was large and of 

 high order of merit. Julius Koehrs, 

 Lager & Hurrell and Thomas Jones rep- 

 resented the trade with flowers of great 

 beauty. The usual contributions from 

 neighboring estates filled the tables.
