EXCHANGE PROFESSORSHIP IN 

 LANDSCAPE GARDENING. 



The Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 

 lege and the University of Illinois have 

 arranged an exchange professorship in 

 Landscape Gardening for the present 

 year. Professor R. R. Root, head of 

 the department in Illinois, will come 

 to Massachusetts for two weeks in De- 

 cember to give a special course of lec- 

 tures in Landscape Gardening. Dur- 

 ing the same time Professor P. A. 

 Waugh, head of the department at the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College, 

 will go to Illinois and deliver a course 

 of lectures and exercises before Profes- 

 sor Root's students. 



This is a somewhat novel departure 

 in college teaching, but has in it the 

 promise of success. It will, of course, 

 be a distinct advantage to the students 

 in both institutions to get in touch 

 with another teacher and to secure a 

 new point of view. It is expected to 

 arouse considerable interest in the 

 course by this method. The Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural College and the Uni- 

 versity of Illinois have two of the larg- 

 est and strongest departments of Land- 

 scape Gardening in America, and both 

 are endeavoring to turn out practical 

 men well equipped for the profession. 

 In the past much of the teaching in 

 this field has been of the strictly ama- 

 teur variety. While the amateur point 

 of view is highly important in garden- 

 ing and should be constantly encour- 

 aged, it is equally important that a 

 few institutions should give thorough- 

 going professional courses not only in 

 agriculture, horticulture, floriculture, 

 forestry, etc., but in the highly special- 

 ized field of Landscape Gardening. 



MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE NOTES. 



The landscape gardening class made 

 a trip recently to several of the estates 

 in town for the purpose of studying 

 planting and formal garden layouts. 

 Among the places visited were the 

 Carruth estate and Prof. Clark's es- 

 tate. 



The junior pomology students have 

 been getting much practical work in 

 pruning in renovating Prof. Todd's or- 

 chard at Amherst College. 



The students in floriculture are 

 building a cement cold frame thirty 

 feet long. The cost of the entire frame 



is $45.00.

THE WISE COURSE 



When contemplating the building of a 

 Greenhouse, the wise course is to 

 avoid extravagance and delay, by hir- 

 ing an organization which features 

 economy and speed. 



Our past is an open book, so is our 

 present, and we invite you to investi- 

 gate both.
