MARYLAND AGRICULTURAL COL- 

 LEGE. 



The two weeks' Horticultural 

 Course, which concluded at the Mary- 

 land College last week, was a great 

 success. The total enrollment was 65 

 members, including men and women 

 interested in fruit growing. The 

 course was as practical as possible, 

 each member of the class was re- 

 quired to actually engage in pruning, 

 grafting and packing fruit. They 

 were also given practical work in the 

 control of insect pests and plant dis- 

 eases. A special demonstration was 

 held, and all the different makes of 

 pumps, including power sprayers, 

 were seen in action. Special lecturers 

 were secured, among them being. Pro- 

 fessors W. M. Scott, A. L,. Quaintance, 

 E. F. Phillips, and H. P. Gould, all of 

 the Department of Agriculture. 



At the conclusion of the course, the 

 president and faculty received the 

 class and student body, at a public 

 reception. At this time the two- 

 weeks' students presented to the col- 

 lege a loving cup, as a token of their 

 appreciation of the course and the 

 courtesies extended by the officers 

 and instructors. The course will no 

 doubt be an annual occurrence here- 

 after. 



A BAR HARBOR ESTABLISHMENT. 



Last fall John H. Stalford pur- 

 chased a lot of land together with the 

 buildings thereon, situated in the rear 

 of the Malvern Hotel, and known as 

 the Malvern Greenhouse property. He 

 also purchased from the Amory es- 

 tate a tract of land including Amory 

 ' Lane. Land has been cleared, stables 

 and sheds torn down and the old 

 greenhouses removed, and in their 

 places new greenhouses have just 

 been completed, making a range of 

 11,000 feet. Melons, grapes and car- 

 nations will be grown. The houses 

 were built and heated by Lord & 

 Burnham Co. A Castle circulator has 

 been installed. 



A PROSPEROUS NURSERY. 



Together with the recently pur- 

 chased Framiugham Nurseries, W. H. 

 Wyman of the Bay State Nursery, 

 North Abington, Mass., now has the 

 largest nursery property in New Eng- 

 land — aggregating upwards of 500 

 acres. At Rockland are located the 

 propagating houses and twelve acres 

 of hardy herbaceous plants. A two- 

 story packing-house and box factory, 

 60 X 120, has lately been added to the 

 North Abington equipment together 

 with a concrete structure for fumi 

 gating purposes. Orderly arrangement 

 and business ability of a high order 

 are everywhere apparent.
