A NURSERY SCHOOL OF BOTA^Pf. 



An innovation that is not only unique 

 and quite original but useful as well has 

 recently been made by Thomas Meehan 

 & Sons, the nurserymen and landscape 

 engineers, of Germantown, Phila. This 

 concern has established for its employes 

 a school of botany with a systematic 

 course of study, and it has already met 

 with great encouragement. 



This school is under the direct per- 

 sonal care of Mr. S. Mendelson Meehan, 

 a member of the firm, and Mr. Ernest 

 Hemming, a Kew graduate, who is a 

 specialist in herbaceous plants and in 

 charge of that department for the firm. 

 The former teaches the advanced mem- 

 bers of the class and the latter instructs 

 the younger element. Both express them- 

 selves as being well pleased with the 

 progress of their pupils. 



Every emplo3e is eligible, from the 

 veteran who has grown gray in the ser- 

 vice to the apprentice who puts in time 

 washing pots. It is surprising and en- 

 couraging to see what interest all the 

 members of the class take and what 

 progress they make. 



For. the nursery worker the benefits 

 to be gained by studying botany can be 

 readily seen. Tlie advantage such a 

 class has to make the most of its studies 

 on a large and complete nursery may 

 be well appreciated. The meetings are 

 held in the evenings and the course has 

 been so arranged to make it interesting 

 and to eliminate as far as possible the 

 natural dryness of the study. 



BUFFALO. 



Bowling. 



From the fact that the Buffalo flor- 

 its have not bowled together as a team 

 since the S. A. F. convention, held in 

 this city last summer, it seems as if 

 the game was killed in the tournament 

 held on that disastrous Saturday. 



Get together, boys. And in order to 

 start the ball a "rolling, we, the All 

 Scott's Bowling Club, would like to bowl 

 any five florists in the city on the new 

 Palace allejs. Address any acceptance 

 of the above challenge to
