Notes. 



We have a complete list of the bids 

 iu detail as submitted by the various 

 seed houses on flower and vegetable 

 seeds for congressional tree seed dis- 

 tribution. Somewhat higher prices are 

 quoted than heretofore on many things. 

 Competition is not so great as was the 

 case last year, and only one foreign 

 in-oposal was received. 



Thos. J. Grey Co.. one of Bos- 

 ton's oldest seed houses have removed 

 their place of business to 16 South 

 Market street. They have leased the 

 entire building for a long term of 

 years and will occupy the upper five 

 hoors, which have been thoroughly 

 renovated and arranged to accommo- 

 date their lai-ge and growing business. 

 The second floor will be used entirely 

 as a sales room while the third floor 

 will contain the executive oflices and 

 a large display of agricultural im- 

 plements.

The winter short course in Floricul- 

 ture opened with a total enrollment 

 of 21 students. Nearly 50 per cent, 

 of the men have come from practical 

 work in order to get a little of the 

 training offered by the college. Theory 

 and practice are both to be given. 

 Last Saturday work in propagation 

 and repotting of bedding plants was 

 given. Next Saturday a study of 

 greenhouse construction. including 

 the parts and details of the green-

 will constitute a part of the work.

 ers' Club Annual is well on its way 

 toward completion. Over 40 per cent, 

 of the necessary advertising space has 

 already been subscribed to. At least 

 1,000 copies of the Annual will be dis- 

 tributed widely over the country 

 gratis. The contents are to include 

 articles on the history and develop- 

 ment of the department, the future of 

 the college man trained in floriculture, 

 alumni in floriculture, etc. The whole 

 Annual will be profusely illustrated, 

 and the book will be of great value 

 and help.
