WORCESTER, MASS. 

 Charles Walters, of West Roxbury. 

 Mass., has been appointed assistant 

 director of the Worcester parks and 

 playgrounds by the commission. Mr. 

 Walters was formerly employed in the 

 Boston parks. He will have charge 

 of the parks here as assistant to 

 Thomas E. Holland, who will give his 

 attention chiefly to the playgrounds. 

 Herman Adams, connected with the 

 Worcester parks for nine years, was 

 placed in charge of the tree work as 

 successor to City Forester Harold J. 

 Neale. 



Early In the season H. P. A, Lange 

 closed down a large range of green- 

 houses on account of the fuel scar- 

 city. What then appeared to be a 

 most regrettable state of affairs has 

 turned out to be a "blessing in 

 disguise," for the weekly saving in 

 labor and coal during the winter has 

 aggregated a very large amount, far 

 exceeding what it has cost to keep 

 their big flower store amply supplied 

 from the wholesale markets with all 

 the flowers needed. The greenhouses 

 are now to be opened for the produc- 

 tion of young vegetable plants for 

 spring sales.

A SIIVIPLE DEVICE FOR SCARING 

 BIRDS. 



A relative of mine who was a very 

 keen naturalist always used a simple 

 but little-known device for keeping 

 birds away from peas, etc. Suspend a 

 length of crimson worsted along each 

 row, fastened to a small stake at 

 either end, and no bird will venture 

 near. Many gardeners rig up elabo- 

 rate devices of paper or rags, or 

 thread intricate patterns with twine 

 over their seeds. Let them try this 

 dodge, which is just as effectual and 

 much less trouble. The color is the 

 point; birds dislike it.
