NORTHERN TEXAS. 



Warm one day, cold the next, ^vith 

 high winds every day, has been our ex- 

 perience the past week, majting it a 

 hard proposition to move around. Easi- 

 ness has been excellent so far. Eeports 

 from different places in this section give 

 the increase of business so far this year 

 from thirty to sixty per cent. Stock 

 is looking fine and those days that will 

 allow of people moving around bring 

 good business to the florists, as this is 

 the season when nearly everybody wants 

 to plant out, and the demand for blooms 

 exceeds the amount grown. 



Bulbous stock is up out-doors; I find 

 that the call is not for common, but for 

 first-class stock, as we are told that the 

 customers have plenty of common 

 flowers. Sweet peas are about six inches 

 high, peonies nearly a foot high, lilacs 

 nearly in full bloom; fruit trees are in 

 full bloom. 



Narcissi are all planted and there will 

 be none for Easter. I find that when 

 the bulbs are flatted up, as we used to 

 do north, the bulbs come up very quickly 

 and are soon gone. But the bulbs will 

 keep in this climate without sprouting 

 all winter. I planted some two weeks 

 ago which are coming now in full bloom. 

 This is true of Eoman hyacinths and nar- 

 cissi. The Dutch bulbs I planted in 

 November are now peeping through the 

 litter and will come in nicely for Easter. 

 The Keizerskroon is something new here, 

 and when a bloom shows, is eagerly 

 snapped up. Harrisii is showing color 

 and it will be hard to keep them until 

 wanted. Carnations are looking good, 

 and in some places are doing fine. Val- 

 ley is also looking good and prices are 

 keeping up well. Potted stock is com- 

 mencing to move lively. 



There is a craze for landscape work; 

 the demand for hardy stock is increas- 

 ing, and promises to be very lively next 

 fall. There has been quite a large num- 

 ber of funerals, which have cleared up 

 all the stock, and the number of social 

 functions is on the increase, keeping 

 things lively. 



J. W. Goree, of Whitewright, met with 

 bad luck last week while away from 

 home. His fireman, not knowing much 

 about boilers, allowed gas to escape into 

 the house, ruining the entire stock of 

 roses. 



H. O. Hannah & Son, of Sherman, 

 have rebuilt their furnace room, which 

 was destroyed by fire two weeks ago. 

 Some of the stock was damaged a little 

 by smoke, but it was not serious. 



The nurserymen in this section find it 

 a hard matter to get enough help to 

 move their stock, which is increasing 

 rapidly each year. Narcissus. 



Eureka, III. — C. E. Brady, of the 

 firm of Brady & Son, died March 8. He 

 was 63 years old and had resided in this 

 vicinity for thirty years.

THE WEEDER FOR FLORISTS 



The inner edge is sharp. Its oval shape permits the operator to weed behind the plants while 

 standing in front. The pushing edge is thin enough to work easily through the soil, but too dull to 

 damage the stems of the plants should it come in contact with them. 



It takes out the weeds and leaves the surface smooth. What's more, it does all the work so 

 rapid it will pay for itself in one day's use.
