SOCIETY:! AMERICAN FLORISTS 



YOU ARE INVITED to vlsU us during convention week, any day at your convenience. 



ANDORRA presents a unique Nursery — six hundred acres of hilly land, containing over three hundred and fifty 

 acres of Ornamental Trees, Shrubs, Vines, and Perennials. Our Location permits us to grow many varie- 

 ties both in deciduous and evergreen trees and shrubs that cannot be grown to advantage North or South of this latitude, and 

 thus adds to our extensive collection many desirable and decorative plants. 



ANDORRA has been called The Modern Landscape Nursery. The lay-out of our land, with its hills, valleys 

 and woodland, permits the planting of trees and shrubs in natural positions, thus affording planting suggestions at every turn. 



ANDORRA is easily and quickly reached from the Convention (Horticultural) Hall by the Pennsylvania Railroad 

 from Broad St. Station (at Broad and Market S's.) to Chestnut Hill Station ; then by trolley, which passes the depot, to the 

 City Line. Our office is one block from the trolley terminus at the City Line. 



REMEMBER, this is a personal invitation to YOU.

MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 



COLLEGE. 



Summer School of Agriculture. 



The summer school of agriculture 

 conducted for the benefit of school 

 teachers at Massachusetts Agricultural 

 CoUego this year closed Friday 

 noon, August 2. It was unanimously 

 voted a success. The total attendance 

 was 212, nearly all of whom completed 

 the entire term, and 184 of whom re- 

 ceived certificates for courses com- 

 pleted. The students of the school 

 formed themselves into a permanent 

 organization and elected Supt. Chas. W. 

 Haley of Milford, Mass., president. 

 Enthusiastic resolutions of praise for 

 the summer school and the Agricul- 

 tural College were adopted, and the 

 association pledged its support in all 

 the future development of the college. 



Careful inquiry reveals the fact that 

 practically every one of the teachers 

 is engaged for the year, so that the 

 new ideas which have been developed 

 in the summer school courses will be 

 quiclily distributed to more than a 

 hundred and fifty schools in all parts 

 of the country. 



This is the first stimmer school ever 

 held at Massachusetts Agricultural 

 College, but the success of the experi- 

 ment insures the continuance of the 

 work. The official announcement that 

 there would be another summer school 

 next year met with great favor 

 amongst the teachers. About one-third 

 the entire number registered for next 

 year before leaving.

 is historic, sacred, and glorious in 

 the annals of past achievement: 

 Gentlemen: — 



What are you doing? We hear not 

 a word from New York, Chicago, Bos- 

 ton, St. Louis, Buffalo, Detroit, Flat- 

 bush or Kalamazoo. A faint ripple ap- 

 pears in the calm waters of Philadel- 

 phia but outside all is deadly still. Do 

 you. our three champions, advance 

 agents, realize the situation? Is there 

 to be no fun after the arduous mental 

 sessions of the Society? Have you 

 written to the bowlers and shooters of 

 every club in the country to get busy? 

 Printing your name on the committee 

 list isn't all! As the commodore has 

 said many a time: "To keep school 

 first get tlie scholars." Lots of young
