MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE. 



The Department of Floriculture is 

 busily engaged making the final plans 

 and arrangements for its Autumn 

 Flower Show and Exhibition of Floral 

 Arrangements. It has been decided 

 to open the show on Sunday, November 

 7, from 2 until 10 P. M., in order that 

 more people from the surrounding 

 cities may have an opportunity to 

 visit the show. The show will continue 

 through Monday and Tuesday, Novem- 

 ber 8 and 9, being open from 10 A. M. 

 to 10 P. M. 



From the present indications it be- 

 gins to look as if it would be neces- 

 sary to use part o£ the second floor 

 of the building in order to accommo-

date the various exhibits. Several of 

 the florists in this section have offered 

 to exhibit, for they fully understand 

 the opportunity for advertising which 

 this show with its free admission of- 

 fers. Also several other members of 

 the trade have signified their inten- 

 tion to send in exhibits of new vari- 

 eties and other specialties, for they 

 realize that the florists of this section 

 are much interested in the show. A 

 few of the private gardeners around 

 the state are also intending to send 

 something of interest. This is a show 

 for everybody and space will be pro- 

 vided for anyone who wishes to send 

 in anything of interest. 



At the request of the Northampton 

 and Holyoke Gardeners' and Florists' . 

 Club special classes, open only to 

 their members, have been arranged. 

 Much interest is being shown by the 

 students in floriculture who are antici- 

 pating the competitions provided for 

 them. Mr. Butler, of Northampton, 

 will be on hand to give suggestions to 

 the students in floral arrangement. 



The chrj^santheraums in the college 

 greenhouses are coming along nicely 

 and include some very fine blooms, so 

 that a wealth of these flowers will be 

 available. There will be a large ex- 

 hibit of named varieties of the differ- 

 ent types which should prove of in- 

 terest to the growers. Chrysanthe- 

 mums will be freely used in baskets, 

 large vases, and as pot plants. Be- 

 sides these and various floral arrange- 

 ments the department will also have 

 groups of house plants, Christmas 

 plants, foliage plants, etc. There will 

 be two large groups composed of foli- 

 age and flowering plants. There will 

 be collections of books for amateur 

 gardeners, of various types of orna- 

 mental containers for the home and 

 other things of interest to the general 

 public. 



Once again the department wishes 

 to invite one and all, and sincerely 

 hopes that it may have an opportunity 

 to welcome many of the florists and 

 gardeners. 



Notes. 



Last Friday the formal dedication 

 of Stockbridge Hall took place. Among 

 the prominent speakers were W. H. 

 Bowker, of Concord; W. Wheeler, Sec- 

 retary of the State Board of Agricul- 

 ture, and President K, L. Butterfleld. 



The floriculture department is plac- 

 ing exhibits in several classes at the 

 Northampton and Holyoke Florists' 

 and Gardeners' Club show in Holyoke 

 this week. A. S. T.

The Working Principle of the 



METROPOLITAN PATENTEO EAVE 



In A — B — C — Language 



If you light a 

 match and hold 

 it — ihe heat won't 

 bother you until 

 the lire touches 

 your S n ge r 8. 

 Now take a nail, 

 bold It at one 

 end and apply a 

 lit match at the 

 other — In a mo- 

 ment you win 

 have to drop It 

 because the heat 

 has been con- 

 ducted to your 

 fingers. 



That's the working principle of the 

 Metropolitan Patented Eave, and that's 

 why it is self-ice-clearing. 



More than 90% of the Metropolitan 

 P.ntented Kave is in constant contact 

 with the inside heat, and being of one 

 continuous piece of cast iron, the heat 

 penetrates right through to the outside. 

 That's why no snow or ice can accu- 

 mulate on a Metropolitan Greenhouse. 



Heat cannot penetrate eaves that are 

 made up of two or more sections. 



The Metropolitan Eave is but one of 

 the many improvements we have made 

 In Greenhouse construction.
