carnation house, and students' practice house, together with 

 workrooms and florists' tenement. These buildings are near 

 together and both heated from basement of workrooms of 

 greenhouse and protected by having boilers, connected so 

 either can be used for either building. They occupy a nearly 

 level space in the center of the campus. The range of green- 

 houses and work rooms cost about $25,000.00. 



These buildings, taken in connection with the field 

 equipments of gardens, orchards and nurseries, puts the col- 

 lege in position for horticultural instruction equal, at least, to 

 any institution in New England. 



Prof. A. G. Gulley, who has been in charge of the Hor- 

 ticultural work at Storrs for the past twelve years, is to be 

 congratulated on the successful completion of these fine 

 buildings. They will stand as a monument to his untiring en- 

 ergy in building up the department of horticulture at the 

 college. The fruit growers of Connecticut should feel proud 

 of this new equipment at Storrs and should give the work 

 their hearty support. Connecticut horticulture well deserves 

 to be so worthily represented at the State Agricultural Col- 

 lege.
