. The American florist : a weekly journal for the trade. Floriculture; Florists. 1370 The American Florist. April 20, Dallas, Texas. BUSINESS ON THE INCRBASE. — BRIGHT PROSPECTS FOR THE TRADE IN THE LONE STAR STATE.—NEED OF A LARGE CUT FLOWER GROWER.— ONE ESTAB- LISHMENT TO ENLARGE ITS FACITILI- TIBS. Business is increasing very rapidly in Texas and what we most need now is a large grower near at hand as a source of wholesale supplies, for shippedin flowers are very unsatisfactory. At Easter time the supply of homegrown cut flowers was decidedly inadequate, the Texas Seed and Floral Company reportinji that they alone could have sold at least 2,000 more had they been obtainable. They had a large cut and also received several hundreds from the north, where Texas gets most of her cut flowers now, but these were not satisfactory. It is diffi- cult to ship carnations from St. Louis or Chicago and have them arrive here in a fresh condition. The Texas Seed and Floral Company is planning to build several large houses here this season to increase tbeir output of cut flowers F. W. Beach, formerly of Richmond, Ind., is now in charge of their establishment. He says that when they have completed their contemplated improvements, with packing shed, water cistern elevated eighty feet, with gasoline engines for pumping, they will have the most com- plete and best equipped place south of St. Louis. The demand for really well grown plants shows a rapid increase. Some yery fine hydrangeas have been shown here this spring, plants with from four «to six trusses each, and well colored. They have not only made a very showy display, but they sold rapidly. Violets have been selling well but \tere scarce. There has been a heavy crop of Brides and Bridesmaid roses and also a goodly supply of American Beau ties. The season has been a good one throughout. Lone Star. West Andover, Mass.—E.
