The Rorists^ Review 



OCTOBEB 12, 1916. 



AMHEBST, MASS. 



The Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 

 lege opened its doors September 27. 

 Prof. A. H. Nehrling reports an en- 

 rollment of thirty students in the 

 courses in floriculture for the first term. 

 The new 4-term schedule has gone into 

 effect and under this plan the college 

 will never close its doors. The depart- 

 ment of floriculture and the department 

 of landscape gardening will offer prac- 

 tical courses during the summer months, 

 which has been impossible under the 

 old 2-8emester system. 



L. H. Jones, of Milford, Mass., and 

 C. E. Wildon, of Melrose Highlands, 

 Mass., have registered in the graduate 

 school as candidates, for the degree of 

 M.S. in floriculture. Both Mr. Jones 

 and Mr. Wildon are graduates of the 

 college. 



A. S. Thurston has resigned as as- 

 sistant in the department of floriculture 

 and now is at Ames College, Iowa, as 

 head of the department of market gar- 

 dening and floriculture. Mr. Wildon 

 has been appointed to fill the vacancy. 



Prof. A. V. Osmun has been ap- 

 pointed to the position of head of the 

 department of botany, recently left va- 

 cant by the resignation of Dr. G. E. 

 Stone. 



S. W. Hall, of Saxonville, Mass., who 

 graduated from the course in floricul- 

 ture, now is with S. J. Goddard, of 

 Pramingham, Mass. 



G. A. Eead, a recent graduate of the 

 college, now is manager of the Peckham 

 Floral Co., at Fairhaven, Mass. 



Mr. and Mrs. Peter Fisher, of Ellis, 

 Mass., and Mr, and Mrs. M. A. Patten, 

 of Tewksbury, Mass., were recent visi- 

 tors at the college greenhouses. 



The following officers of the Flo- 

 rists' and Gardeners' Club of the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College 

 have been elected: President, E. Stan- 

 ley DuffiU, of Melrose Highlands, Mass.; 

 vice-president, Walter I. Cross, of 

 Hingham, Mass.; secretary-treasurer, 

 John T. Dizer, of East Weymouth, 

 Mass. Much interest is being aroused 

 in the club and the new president 

 prophesies the biggest year in the his- 

 tory of the club. 



Plans for the annual flower show of 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural College 

 have been announced by Prof. A. H. 

 Nehrling. Special prizes and exhibits 

 are being arranged. The Northamptom 

 and Holyoke Gardeners' and Florists' 

 Club will again cooperate with the de- 

 partment of floriculture. 



The new perennial garden has at- 

 tracted much interest during the last 

 summer. Florists and gardeners in 

 this vicinity have paid frequent visits 

 to the garden and as a result many are 

 contemplating the culture of pereniiials 

 in conjunction with their regular flo- 

 rists' crops.

SOMETHING for the 

 WINTER SEASON 



The days are getting shorter. Dark- 

 ness comes early. Before your work is 

 finished you are compelled to stop be- 

 cause you can no longer see. 



The ordinary barn lantern gives out 

 about thirty candle power; not much 

 good to work by. 



The American Regent Lantern gives 

 out 400 candle power, burns gasoline 

 or kerosene and costs about l/4c per 

 hour to run. Can be used very roughly 

 without damage and will not blow out 

 in a wind. 



It is a great thing to hang in your 

 boiler or packing room, for it lights up 

 the whole place, enabling all to do some 

 extra work, and it spreads cheerfulness 

 all around. 



Capacity 1 quart (burns 15 hours), 

 price $6.50.
