Detroit Versus Cleveland. 



On Thursday. March 1st, a picked 

 team including Messrs. Streit. Roha- 

 ley, Stock, Ernest and Norman Sulli- 

 van, Brown, Doemling, Pautke, Klang, 

 Plumb, Ingold and Walters, journeyed 

 to Cleveland to bowl the three remain- 

 ing games in a series of seven between 

 Cleveland and Detroit for the trophy 

 donated by the Mich. Cut Flower Ex- 

 change. After three exciting games 

 the trophy was awarded to Cleveland, 

 Detroit taking only two out of the 

 necessary three games, making a total 

 four to three in favor of Cleveland. 



Robt. Rohaley, manager of Mich. 

 Cut Flower Co. and donor of the 

 trophy, was easily the feature bowler 

 of the evening, making many timely 

 and spectacular strikes.

 My Dear Mr. Stewart: 



Your editorial in HORTICUL- 

 TURE entitled, "Well Done," 

 gives the best short history of 

 the F. H. A. that could be writ- 

 ten. Many thanks for your kind- 

 ly mention, with hopes that when 

 I serve another 30 years you will 

 be in Boston to write another bit 

 of history. Yours truly, 



JOHN G. ESLER.

NEWS NOTES. 

 Uxbridge, Mass. — A deed has been 

 filed in the registry at Worcester in 

 which Rosa F. Taft, widow of Arthur 

 R. Taft, conveys to three trustees, 35 

 acres of land to be held in trust as a 

 public park for the use of all the in- 

 habitants of Uxbridge. The gift is in 

 memory of Mrs. Taft's deceased hus- 

 band, who was always a pioneer in 

 movements for the betterment of Ux- 

 bridge. A fund for maintenance ac- 

 companies the gift. 



GREENHOUSES BUILDING OR CON- 

 TEMPLATED. 



Council Grove, Kan. — Cleek Floral

Walla Walla, Wash.— Blossom Flo-

Danvers, Mass.— The new class- 

 room and demonstration building, just 

 completed at a cost of $60,000 for the 

 Essex County Independent Agricul- 

 tural College here, will be dedicated in 

 April. The structure is one of the 

 finest of its kind in the country. It 

 contains 26 classrooms, a large base- 

 ment demonstrating room and two 

 office rooms. It is 175 feet long and 70 

 feet wide. 



The building is constructed along 

 the most modern lines and contains 

 automatic fan ventilators, shower 

 baths, etc. The material is red brick 

 and reinforced cement with sandstone 

 trimmings. 



The college was founded in 1913 and 

 at present accommodates nearly 300 

 students. Owing to the great demand 

 for entrance it is believed another 

 large building will be needed before 

 long. A large greenhouse will be 

 erected in the spring.
