Food for thought in the 1956-57 almanac

The drawings are labeled Coreopsis, or Golden Wave (left) and Bluebonnet

1956-1957 Texas Almanac.

I found this 100th anniversary edition of the Texas Almanac. The pages are brown, and the type is small.

Most of the almanac is devoted to agriculture, business and lots of charts.

However there are also small sections on plants and wildlife.

Chapters in "The Principal Wild Flowers of Texas" are divided by the color of the flowers.

The first one listed is Anemone. In the description it says: "Legend says the anemone originated from the tears dropped by Venus."

Below is chart with coastal fishing numbers. Have you caught any Menhaden or Pompano recently?
