EXHIBITION AT AMHERST, MASS. 



The Florists' and Gardeners' Club of 

 the Masschusetts Agricultural College, 

 which is composed largely of members 

 of the floricultural classes, held an ex- 

 hibition of cut flowers during Monday 

 and Tuesday, June 16th and 17th of 

 Commencement week. This exhibition 

 was largely attended by town's people 

 and Commencement visitors and 

 proved an attractive feature of the 

 week. A large number of named vari- 

 eties of peonies were on exhibition 

 from the trial plots at the college, also 

 many of the herbaceous perennials 

 which are in flower at this season. 

 The college also exhibited varieties of 

 carnations, roses and sweet peas. 

 This exhibit was supplemented 

 through the generosity of many of the 

 commercial and private growers of the 

 vicinity. The A. N. Pierson Company 

 of Cromwell. Conn., sent splendid 

 vases of Dark Pink Killarney, White 

 Klllarney and Lady Hillingdon roses. 

 W. H. Elliott of Madbury, N. H., and 

 Brighton, Mass., sent vases of Ameri- 

 can Beauty, Christine Miller, Mis. T^ft 

 and Lady Hillingdon roses. Patten & 

 Company of Tewksbury sent a vase of 

 Princess Dagmar carnations and O. D. 

 Allyn, a rose enthusiast of Holyoke, 

 Mass.. showed thirty-six varieties of 

 hybrid perpetual and hybrid tea roses. 

 S. A. Wilde of Taunton, Mass.. sent 

 forty varieties of outdoor roses and 

 sixty types and varieties were received 

 from Elizabeth Park at Hartford, 

 Conn. 



The past year has been a progres- 

 sive one for the Department of Flori- 

 culture. There were eight m<'mbers 

 in the graduating class and all of these 

 have secured desirable positions.
