AUSTIN, TEX. 



The date that usually brings our last 

 frost is past, and now it is spring in 

 earnest. I cut the first outdoor rose, a 

 Teplitz, on the morning of April 3, 

 Texas has had an abundance of rain — 

 a slow, steady soaking and extended 

 over a long period. Our winter has 

 been the coldest in many years, but 

 plant life, now rested and vigorous, is 

 bounding into leaf and bloom with un- 

 usual rapidity. 



The greenhouse people have had the 

 best winter of their lives; there was 

 plenty of stock and a ready market. 



Austin has found herself as the car- 

 nation center for the state, as our va- 

 ried soil and soft, clear river water are 

 such as to satisfy all the plants' de- 

 mands. H. B. B. 



Middletown, N. J.— It is reported that 

 Henry Wisner, who has been connected 

 with the First National Bank of this 

 city for a number of years, will shortly 

 sever his connection "with that institu- 

 tion and embark in the florists' busi- 

 ness. It is his intention to erect large 

 greenhouses on his property at the cor- 

 ner of Wisner and Irwin avenues.
