NORTHERN TEXAS. 



Outdoor stock is growing nicely, but 

 the damp, disagreeable weather is pro- 

 ducing a large crop of cut worms, which 

 are doing their best to eat up all manner 

 of plant life. Our carnations in the field 

 are not being bothered as yet, which I 

 attribute to not using any stable manure. 

 My plan was to scatter equal parts of 

 lime and wood ashes over my ground. 

 Where manure was used the worms are 

 eating everything, and where my lime 

 and ashes were scattered the worms have 

 not as yet made their appearance. Even 

 the greenhouses are full of worms, keep- 

 ing us up nights picking them off. Mums 

 are not yet planted, but are looking fine 

 and will be soon ready for the benches. 



The inclement weather is keeping peo- 

 ple indoors, or in storm caves, and plant- 

 ing out is postponed. Trade has dropped 

 off considerably for that reason, and 

 only a cessation of rain will revive it. 

 Business, people tell me who have been 

 here for years, has increased over forty 

 per cent this year. Prices are as good 

 as they have been since Easter, with the 

 demand equal to the supply. Roses out- 

 ' doors are in full bloom and are bring- 

 ing good prices. Stocks are the stand- 

 ard flower for funeral work. Sweet peas 

 are in bloom, also peonies, which will 

 soon be gone. Landscape work is over, 

 the hot weather forcing everything into 

 ■ growth. Narcissus.

Mrs. Miller will remodel the old Ken- 

 dall place, also put up additional glass. 



The Muncie Floral Co. had the decora- 

 tion at the Auditorium for Nordica. 



The prizes offered by the Civic Art 

 Association and the Muncie Floral Co. 

 are creating a great demand for plants, 

 principally for veranda boxes. The $60 

 for the best veranda boxes offered by 

 the Floral company has been a good ad- 

 vertising scheme. 



The cut flower trade it in a demoral- 

 ized condition. The wholesalers are un- 

 loading carnations and roses to the de- 

 partment stores, which sell them at 25 

 cents a dozen, S. H. 



I CONSIDER the Review of vast im- 

 portance to the trade and a credit to its 

 publishers. — J. W. Hanford, Salisbury,
