The Florists^ Review 



July 25, 1912. 



DICKINSON, TEX. 



In connection with the jasmine season 

 here this year, reports published from 

 this section were rather misleading. 

 Early in the spring letters appeared 

 which would lead northern buyers to 

 suppose that the crop would not be in 

 for May 30, the only day that counts. 

 As it happened, the crop came in nicely 

 for Memorial day. I shipped over 40,000 

 this season. This is just half what 1 

 shipped last season, but the returns 

 were much better this year. 



Another point that should be men- 

 tioned in the reports is the two varie- 

 ties of jasmine, the grandiflora and the 

 florida. The latter always comes in 

 first, the former a week to ten days 

 later, which would account for conflict- 

 ing reports. Where a florist only grows 

 one variety he will not have his cut the 

 same date as his neighbor who grows 

 the other variety. My first shipment 

 of the florida variety was made May 1 

 this year; the last May 31. In all I 

 shipped 43,600. I could have shipped 

 more after May 31, but the demand is 

 small .then. 



I was interested in the article and 

 illustrations on asparagus in lath houses 

 in The Review of July 11. This is also 

 my specialty. I have two lath houses 

 and am building a Foley pipe frame 

 greenhouse, 30x100 feet, to insure hav- 

 ing sprays in winter, as sometimes our 

 cold snaps are troublesome. This is be- 

 ing built part glass and part roofing 

 paper, to give a certain amount of 

 shade. In this way it will be like a 

 lath house but have the advantage of 

 being warm in winter. My asparagus 

 all goes north, a large part to the Chi- 

 cago market. As a rule I ship from 

 5,000 to 10,000 plumosus sprays a month. 

 From April 3, 1912, to date I have 

 shipped about 18,000 sprays. The win- 

 ter was extremely cold, or I would have 

 shipped more. I am trying the new 

 Asparagus Hatcheri down here. It does 

 well, but I do not think it stands cold 

 so well as plumosus. The plumosus is 

 a great favorite and is hard to beat.
