 COLLEGE NOTES. 



Karnior'.s Week this year far eclipsed 

 any previous one at this college. The 

 Department of Floriculture is espec- 

 ially to be conipliniented on the ex- 

 cellent program of speakers, all men 

 well-known to the trade. F. E. Pal- 

 mer, gave a lecture on The Selection 

 and Care of House Plants. G. H. Sin- 

 clair gave an intensely interesting 

 talk on Minor Crops of the Florist and 

 during tlie talk showed a beautiful 

 colonial boiujuet made up of the larg- 

 est possible number of the less popular 

 flowers. Robert Pyle gave a lecture 

 on Roses at Home and Abroad, in the 

 course of which he showed a large 

 number of excellent slides. Maurice 

 Fuld also talked. Professor F. A. 

 Waugh gave an interesting lecture on 

 Fashions in Plants. Professor P. J. 

 Anderson handled the subject of Flori- 

 cultural Diseases, and H. E. Downer 

 the difficult subject of Plant Propaga- 

 tion in a most interesting and instruc- 

 tive manner. All the lectures were 

 largely attended in spite of the cold 

 weather and snow. 



The classes in floriculture worked 

 at bunching violets and making mag- 

 nolia wreaths last week.
