ington. There never has been a crop fail- 

 ure in the valley, but those who planted 

 the orchards generally made two expensive 

 errors: They planted too many trees to 

 the acre, and selected too wide a diversity 

 of varieties. However, the latter mistake 

 has resulted in clearly demonstrating the 

 varieties certain to yield the greatest 

 profit, and the new orchards are being 

 limited to apples that experience has 

 proven will bring the biggest returns. 

 These are the Gano, the Kome Beauty 

 and the York 'Imperial. 



While the rainfall in the Grande Eonde 

 valley averages only about ninteen inches 

 a year, it is ample for the needs of winter 

 apple trees, and few of the orchards are 

 irrigated. Irrigation tends to bunch the 

 roots of the tree near the surface of the 

 ground, for the simple reason the roots 

 do not have to go deep into the soil for 

 moisture. As a result irrigated trees lack 

 the sturdiness necessary to resist heavy 

 winds, and are apt to at least lean no- 

 ticeably. The trees in the non-irrigated 

 orchards of the Grande Eonde valley 

 stand erect, and their symmetry is com- 

 mented upon by all visiting fruit grow- 

 ers. Water is found almost anywhere in 

 the valley, at a depth from nine to 

 twelve feet, so that the roots speedily 

 grow deep into damp soil. The Grande 

 Eonde apples first came into notice at 

 the Columbian Exposition at Chicago in 

 1893. 



AUSTIN, TEX. 



Current 0>mment. 



The season at Austin, Texas, has been 

 remarkable. Up to this date we have had 

 no frost and during October less than 

 an inch of rain, with the result that only 

 those who could irrigate have anything 

 growing outside their greenhouses. The 

 dry season has produced a large cotton 

 crop and exceptionally good opportunity 

 to gather it. Cotton is now green and 

 blooming, and looks far too beautiful for 

 a mere commercial crop. 



The new Austin Floral Co. has opened 

 its business in a large plate-glass-fronted 

 store, near Eighth street on Congress ave- 

 nue. The firm is composed of A. J. 

 Seiders, O. Olsson and Eobert Lawson. 

 All are practical florists and popular men. 



The Hyde Park Floral Co. has done a 

 splendid business all summer, getting 

 most of its flowers from F. T. Eamsey 's 

 flower farm, which he cultivates largely 

 for pleasure in connection with his nur- 

 sery. He irrigates from surface wells, 

 and maintains a driveway the entire 

 length of the garden and experimental 

 grounds, that the public may enjoy their 

 beauty. 



The State University has built an addi- 

 tion to its greenhouse, 16x30 feet, and 

 has installed a hot water heating plant. 

 - 'r^e greenhouse plant of Charles Alf & 

 Co., in the eastern part of the city, has 

 been enlarged by two new houses this 

 summer. 



Mums and carnations are just arriving, 

 the weather until recently having been 

 too warm. . H. B.
