seasons of the year. In onfe flower fac- 

 tory alone there were over seven car- 

 loads of glass used, and two carloads of 

 mre are required to furnish stakes to 

 maintain the upright character of the 

 plants. During the summer season it is 

 necessary to syringe the flowers under 

 glass frequently and it takes 65,000 gal- 

 lons of water daily at the Green plant 

 for this purpose. This water comes from 

 their own wells and goes through a soft- 

 ening process before it is used on the 

 plants. 



The establishment of great greenhouse 

 plants here has brought about a marked 

 decrease in the local retail prices for cut 

 flowers. For instance, chrysanthemums 

 sold last year for $6 per dozen; this 

 year they could be purchased for $4

Roses are a great deal cheaper, and, in 

 fact, there has been a decrease of from 

 twenty-five to fifty per cent all down the 

 line in cut flowers of all kinds. This, of 

 course, is occasioned to a great extent by 

 the doing away of express charges. Lo- 

 cal retailers report that the citizens of 

 Dallas are taking advantage of these 

 prices and that there is always a ready 

 sale for good stock. 



With Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, 

 and the leading cities of north, south. 



east and west Texas, as our tributaries, it 

 will be only a question of time before the 

 industry of raising cut flowers and plants, 

 and the nursery branch of the business, 

 will be recognized as one of the leading 

 factors in the growth of Dallas as the 

 financial, manufacturing and industrial 

 metropolis of the southwest.

 Service will, on January 10, open bids 

 for a greenhouse in Schiller park.
