SAN ANTONIO, TEX. 



We have had a long, severe drought. 

 G. Bright says that such shrubs as the 

 althseas and white oleanders have been 

 the greatest help in keeping up a supply 

 of flowers after the annuals were all 

 burned up. Clematis paniculata is do- 

 ing finely and, with tuberoses and white 

 hyacinth l)ean8, we defy the great heat 

 and the hot, drying winds. Of course we 

 get some carnation flowers and roses, but 

 the supply is quite limited and the roses 

 just now only good when in bud.
