MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE FALL SHOW. 



The Department of Floriculture is 

 making plans for its Annual Fall Flow- 

 er Show which is to be held Monday 

 and Tuesday, November 8 and 9. The 

 entire first floor of the building, about 

 5200 square feet will be used for the 

 show. 



Last fall the Department received 

 many favoraljle comments from men in 

 the trade. This year it is planned to 

 make the show a bigger, better and 

 busier one. There will be exhibits of 

 interest to the florist and gardener as 

 well as to the general public. The 

 Department wishes to extend to all a 

 hearty invitation to attend the show. 



There will be a large showing of 

 chrysanthemums in named collections, 

 in masses, in groups of foliage and 

 flowering plants and in floral arrange- 

 ments. Although the chrysanthemums 

 will be dominant all other florists' flow- 

 ers and plants will be freely used. 



The competition in table decoration 

 will be limited to the junior class, with 

 fourteen entries. The seniors will have 

 a competition in basket arrangement 

 and there will be ten entries in this 

 class. In addition there will be vase, 

 plant basket and box arrangements, 

 bouquets and corsages. There will be 

 exhibits of pottery, baskets and vari- 

 ous other types of containers, together 

 wdth other accessories of the florist. 



The Northampton and Holyoke Gar- 

 deners' and Florists' Club is to co- 

 operate with the M. A. C. Florists' and 

 Gardeners' Club for a joint meeting 

 one evening of the Show, at which 

 time some outside speaker will talk 

 upon Floral Arrangements and Ex- 

 hibits.

Range of Greenhouses which we built 

 for Mr. N. (irillo. Rose Grower, of Mill- 

 dale. Conn. There is absolutely no 

 shade in these houses. The Jacobs 

 patented const ruction eliminated it en- 

 tirely. 



Any grower who wants his green- 

 house built at the hiwest cost, and in 

 the shortest time, consistent with good 

 workmanship, can get just what he de- 

 sires by employing the Jacobs organi- 

 zation for the job. This is a fact which 

 is conceded by many of the biggest 

 greenhouse owners in the country. 



While we have been at it almost half 

 a century, we come to you not only 

 with the knowledge accumulated through 

 all this experience, but we are always 

 right up with the times on what's what, 

 and what's new in Greenhouses. 



When yon think of a greenhouse, no 

 place in the D. S. is too far for us to 

 go. to submit specitications and prices.
