SAN ANTONIO, TEX. 



May 31 there Avas heavy hail and the 

 greenhouses suffered, as usual. The 

 Poppea glass fared worst, the loss being 

 about $600. A neighboring florist writes: 

 ' ' Mr. Poppea and his wife are from 

 Belgium. They have been here about 

 seven years and have had hard luck. 

 The Galveston flood swept away all they 

 had accumulated and they moved to 

 San Antonio and began again on Biver 

 avenue. Mr. Poppea 's health was in a 

 bad state and he went to the hospital 

 and underwent a painful and expensive 

 operation. While he was ill his wjfe 

 kept up the business, and they grew 

 about the best flowers and ferns that I 

 ever saw. I have had my entire stock, 

 and all my glass, twice destroyed by 

 hail, HO I know how it feels. ' '

 flowers for the retail store downtown. 

 Tlie four new houses will be devoted 

 entirely to carnations, for Avhich there 

 is alwaj's a large demand. The addi-

 needed, as Miss Flick's retail business

 boring towns and cities. The green- 

 houses are located at South Wayne.
