MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE. 



The short course in floriculture at 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College 

 opened January 3rd, with a smaller at- 

 tendance than had been expected. Dur- 

 ing the course this year an unusually 

 large number of outside speakers had 

 been engaged so that the course 

 seemed to be an especially attractive 

 one and one which would appeal to a 

 large number of practical men. 



The following have registered for 

 the course: 



Johu F. Freehao, Great Bariiugtou, 

 Mass.; Roy A. Hatch, Ciiftoudale, Mass.: 

 Warren Kinder, Charlerol, Pa.; Errol L. 

 Macl)i)iial(3, Seekonk, Mass.; Waklron K. 

 Nasoii. Jamaica Plain, Mass.; Maude M. 

 Perkins, Newburyport, Mass.: Frank B. 

 Place. Dighton, Mass.; William M. Post, 

 Daulniry. Conn.; Etta Rotmau, Mlllis, 

 Mass.; Louis V. Schmidt. Jamaica Plaiu, 

 Mass.; Guilford Smith, Bar Harl)or. Me. 



The first talk was given last weeE 

 by Mr. Cobb, sales manager of Lord & 

 Buruham Company, who spoke of the 

 Lord & Burnham type of construction. 

 Mr. Cobb showed a large number of 

 drawings by means of the reflecto- 

 scope, of private and commercial 

 ranges which his firm had built. He 

 also spoke of the details of construc- 

 tion, to which they attach especial im- 

 portance and he gave a very clear idea 

 of the important factors to be consid- 

 ered in greenhouse construction. 



On Friday, R. O. King, of King Con- 

 struction Company, spol^e on their 

 construction, Mr. King's talk empha- 

 sized the original ideas which have 

 been brought out in the King construc- 

 tion and he showed by lantern slides 

 a large number of commercial ranges 

 which they have constructed. Mr. 

 King spoke especially of their iron- 

 frame truss construction and explained 

 the theory on which their houses are 

 built. 



The first part of the week the after- 

 noons were devoted to a study of the 

 Lord & Burnham construction as 

 shown in the College range and on 

 Saturday the observation trip was to 

 the large range of the Montgomery 

 Rose Company in Hadley, which was 

 built last year by the King Construc- 

 tion Company.
