trustees and the Boston Market Gar- 

 deners' Association. Prof. H. F. 

 Thompson of Arlington, who is con- 

 nected with the Agricultural College, 

 will be district agent. It is planned to 

 erect four or five greenhouses when 

 money is appropriated by the state. 

 This station has been procured through 

 the efforts of the Boston Market Gar- 

 dner's Association after about three 

 years' work. 



The George R. White Medal of 

 Honor tor 1916 has been awarded to 

 William Robinson, the well-known 

 horticultural writer and owner of "The 

 Garden," London, England. 



Mr. Robinson is widely known for 

 his advocacy of natural gardening as 

 opposed to the formal or "carpet bed- 

 ding" system so much in vogue a few 

 years since. His book "The Flower 

 Garden" is a recognized classic on that 

 subject and has gone through many 

 editions. He was the founder of 

 "Farm & Home," "Flora & Sylva" and 

 "Garden Illustrated." the latter a popu- 

 lar amateur publication which still 

 runs well. He has been physically in- 

 capacitated for active business for a 

 number of years, but is still a power 

 for good in all that appertains to hor- 

 ticulture. He has a fine estate at 

 Gravetye, England. 



WASHINGTON, D. C. 

 Gude Bros. Co. have a very attrac- 

 tive window display this week fea- 

 turing the Florists' Telegraph Deliv- 

 ery Service. 



Mrs. Nettie Supper, formerly em- 

 ployed at the store of Gude Bros. Co., 

 but recently connected with the es- 

 tablishment of George C. Shaffer, has

The Government of the Netherlands 

 has placed an embargo on the expor- 

 tation from that country of vegetable 

 seeds, according to a cablegram from 

 the American vice-consul at Rotter- 

 dam to the State Department. 



Charles Dearing and A. M. Grimes, 

 scientific assistants in the bureau of 



plant industry, will spend the re- 

 mainder of the year at Norfolk. Va., 

 and Willard, N. C. worKing on mat- 

 ters pertaining to muscadine grape 

 culture. 



For the fiscal year ending June 30, 

 1918, it is estimated that $11,690 will 

 be required to cultivate and care for 

 the gardens, greenhouses and grounds 

 of the Department. To establish and 

 maintain an experiment farm and agri- 

 culture station on the Arlington estate 

 $21,900 is requested. 



An appropriation of $26,100 is re- 

 quired for investigations in economic 

 and systematic botany, and the im- 

 provement and utilization of wild 



plants and grazing lands. The De- 

 partment will require $250,000 for in- 

 vestigation of citrus canker; and for 

 other investigations in plant indus- 

 tries an appropriation of $C2,500. 

 $243,720 is requested to cover tlie cost 

 and distribution of seeds. The Depart- 

 ment will need $87,430 to carry into 

 effect the insecticide act. For the in- 

 vestigation of diseases of forest and 

 ornamental trees and shrubs, $83.')15. 

 The Department expects to spead 

 $34,700 in studying and testing com- 

 mercial seeds, including samples of 

 seeds and grasses, clover, alfalfa and 

 long grass seeds secured in the open 

 market. An appropr'atio)i of $75,000, 

 $20,500 of which is for salaries, is re- 

 quested for the federal horticultural 

 board.
