700 The American Florist. May 30, Chattanooga, Tenn. HOT, DRY WEATHER PREVAILS.—ROSE PLANTING.—VISITORS. Mrs. J. W. Crouch is planting two more houses to roses this season, one house 25x50 to Meteor and one house 26x150 to Brides and Bridesmaids. She has just finished planting one house 38x100 to Golden Gate, having still three houses for other varieties. We are now in the midst of the plant- ing season with hot, dry weather, which has been prevalent for two weeks past, the mercury having been flirting among the nineties for several days.
