Mothers ' day and is looking forward to 

 much activity for Memorial day. This 

 fltore has undergone a thorough renova- 

 tion, including a new coat of paint, 

 which makes the place much lighter and 

 more cheerful looking. 



B. M. Joseph and bride, nee Miss 

 Gladys Dean Eule, have just returned 

 from their honeymoon, which was in 

 the nature of an automobile tour of the 

 southern part of the state. They are 

 now at home to their friends- at the 

 Clift hotel, in this city. The wedding 

 took place April 21. M. M. 



WINTER COURSES AT CORNELL. 



Now that the country is emerging 

 from war-time activities and we are 

 again resuming a normal life there is a 

 large call for experienced men in com- 

 mercial floriculture and gardeners on 

 private estates. The Department of 

 Floriculture of the College of Agricul- 

 ture at Cornell University is endeavor- 

 ing to equip men to meet the call by 

 offering unusually attractive short 

 courses next winter, beginning Novem- 

 ber 5 and closing with Farmers' Week 

 in February. 



This is a rare opportunity for young 

 men, especially the sons of florists who 

 have had considerable practical experi- 

 ence, to get a scientific training at com- 

 paratively low cost. For- these men 

 especially interested in commercial flori- 

 culture there are given courses in green- 

 house construction and heating, the gen- 

 eral principles which govern greenhouse 

 practice and the methods followed in the 

 best cultural practices in growing flo- 

 rists' crops. Those students who desire 

 a certificate of proficiency are required 

 to take in addition to the courses men- 

 tioned, courses in agricultural chemistry, 

 soils and plant diseases. Courses in 

 plant breeding, injurious insects, exten- 

 sion work and rural improvement may 

 also be elected. Certificates of profi- 

 ciency are not given, however, until the 

 Btudent has subsequently spent a full 

 year in floricultural work. 



For outdoor gardeners there are spe- 

 cial courses in gardening and garden 

 flowers, as well as a large list of gen- 

 eral courses which are necessary for pro- 

 ficiency in work in parks or on private 

 estates. 



Now is the time to make plans for 

 next winter and the secretary of the Col- 

 lege of Agriculture at Cornell Univer- 

 sity, Ithaca, N. Y., or Professor E. A. 

 White, of the Department of Floricul- 

 ture, will be glad to give any informa- 

 tion desired regarding the courses.
