MASSACHUSETTS AGRICULTURAL 

 COLLEGE. 



All students are being placed in 

 stores for the Christmas holidays. 



Seniors worked at tying roses this 

 week. At present they are at work 

 also on a problem on the equipment, 

 maintenance, and details of a rose es- 

 tablishment. 



The Junior classes trenched for 

 sweet peas this week. Next Monday a 

 trip to the Sinclair Range at Smith's 

 Ferry is planned to study the crops, 

 heating system and construction of the 

 houses. 



The M. A. C. Botanical Club met at 

 Clark Hall, Thursday evening, for the

 son gave a talk on "Some Interesting 

 Fleshy Fungi Collected about Amherst 

 in 1916." G. W. Martin gave a paper

 herst in 1916." 



AZALEA SHIPMENTS SATIS- 

 FACTORY. 

 August Rolker & Sons, New York, 

 inform us that they have received 

 their lull complement of Azalea orders 

 from Belgium, excepting 19 cases to 

 follow on the S. S. Ryndam. All in- 

 formation received tends to show 

 that the release by the German au- 

 thorities was due to the individual 

 efforts of the Belgian growers, assisted 

 by "The Chambre Syndicale des Horti- 

 culteurs Beiges," who had to certify 

 to each separate invoice, which again 

 bad to be approved by the British Con- 

 sul in Rotterdam, involving quite an 

 extra charge for "Consular Fees." No 

 end to extra expenses right and left; 

 but no doubt all American florists 

 are glad to receive their orders, even 

 if somewhat belated. So far as we 

 can ascertain, the average deliveries, 

 notwithstanding the long confinement, 

 have turned out pretty fair, with few 

 exceptions. Let us hope for better 

 conditions next season, so as to enable 

 real prompt deliveries, in the old ac- 

 customed style.
