T,' Robert Hewitt, of Brazos Hotel Greenhouses, Houston, is growing a fine lot of Bougainvillea Sanderiana on trel- lises in various forms, such as the "Lone Star," butterfly, balloon, etc. It certainly makes up well. The Moers Seed Co. and the Eeichardt & Schulte Co., of Houston, report excel- lent business. £. Schwenke, of the latter house, says the largest shipment of Early Snowball cauliflower to one grower this season was eight pounds, which order later was duplicated to the same grower. S. J. Mitchell, of Houston, who keeps in close touch with Mexican affairs, says the harvests have been good. The gray back bug has been busier than usual, owing to the dry season. The run from Houston to Galveston, Tex., is made through a grazing country, T^here the famous long-horned Texas steers are seen in large herds in grass almost shoulder-high. The roadsides are blooming with wild forget-me-nots, lupines, gypsophilas and gaillardi§s. M. P. Hargreaves' Seed Store, at Gal- veston, proposes next season, owing to the continued shortage of the northern bean crops, to secure a crop of seed from the spring sowing for fall sowing the same year, as two crops are grown in this latitude each year.
