MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE. 

 The .\1. A. C. Florists' fhili opened 

 the season last Tuesday evening with 

 its first meeting and a banquet. Prof. 

 A. G. Hocht made a vigorous speech 

 to the students urging them to more 

 activity and a bigger and more suc- 

 cessful club than ever. Although the 

 war made and Is making great inroads 

 on the student body, everyone felt that 

 this year was to be even more active 

 because of the shortening of the terms. 

 It was planned to have a series of lec- 

 tures by prominent members of the 

 trade. The first lecture of the series 

 is to be given Tuesday evening by 

 Aubrey Butler of Northampton. The 

 total enrollment of students is a little 

 over half that of last year. This fact 

 alone certainly tells the story of what 

 "Old Bay State's Loyal Sons" have 

 done in the country's hour of trial. 

 "Aggie" sons are to be found in every 

 branch of the army, navy, air and Red 

 Cross Service. Harry Lydiard is in 

 the Collegiate Balloon School, Rock- 

 vllle. Conn., and recently landed in Am- 

 herst, much to the surprise of his 

 friends. Harold Pratt is with Sam 

 Goddard at Framingham. John Cada- 

 relli has left Pierson's at Cromwell, 

 Conn., to take up the sword for Uncle 

 Sam. 



The Annual Fall Flower Show has 

 been postponed until spring, because 

 of the late opening of the college and 

 the scarcity of material. Plans are 

 under way for the enlarging of the 

 perennial gardens. The various spe- 

 cies of each genera will be grouped to- 

 gether and, while this had been the 

 plan hitherto, it is to be more rigidly 

 carried out. 



C. E. Wildon has taken up his work 

 again after a strenuous summer as 

 8uper\-lsor of gardens of Springfield 

 and superintendent of the Flower 

 Show, JJastern States Exposition. Mr. 

 Wildon also wishes to express his ap- 

 preciation of the co-operation of the 

 florists at the exhibition, especially 

 commending Pierson's, Cromwell, 

 Conn.; George Walker. North Dighton; 

 George H. Sinclair, and Gallivan Bros., 

 Holyoke; Butler & Ullman, Northamp- 

 ton. 



Princeton Nurseries, Princeton, N. 

 J. — From its exterior one would never 

 imagine the wholesale catalogue of 

 this new enterprise to be a catalogue 

 but ralher an attractive magazine. Il- 

 lustrations throughout are on a scale 

 and quality rarely found in wholesale 

 catalogues. The lists are quite com- 

 plete.

 Price List of Greenhouse and Bedding 

 Plants. Nothing slow about Messrs. 

 Vincent. This is the first of the 1918 

 catalogues to come to our notice and 

 it is a good one, admirably arranged, 

 well printed and overflowing with the 

 very latest and best varieties of 

 dahlias, geraniums and other special- 

 ties of this well-known firm of plant 

 growers for the trade.
