gather practical experience, he was apt 

 to return home to help his people, or 

 to go into business for himself. Con- 

 tinuing, the speaker asked that the 

 florists encourage college graduates by 

 giving them employment, and that they 

 send their sons and employees to the 

 state college, either for the full course 

 for four years, or for the short course, 

 for six to eight weeks. He said that the 

 state college was a direct benefit to 

 floriculture througli soil analysis, 

 through insect remedies and through 

 determining the relative values of fer- 

 tilizers. Much more miglit be done with 

 better equipment. Here came the sur- 

 prise of the evening: Would the 

 Florists' Club cooperate with the state 

 college? Not that kind of cooperation 

 that merely meant good will, but the 

 active, positive sort? Would the Flo- 

 rists' Club and each one of its members 

 bring every influence within their 

 power to bear in order to secure for 

 Pennsylvania State College a modern 

 range of greenhouses, to replace the 

 small, old-fashioned houses now there? 

 Plans were produced of such an elab-

orate character as to be positively start- 

 ling. The greenhouses on these plans 

 can be best described as large and 

 thoroughly modern. They would cer- 

 tainly not be inexpensive. The club 

 was confronted by a serious question. 

 It stands for progress in floriculture, 

 but that progress must be thoroughly 

 practical; would the state college be 

 able to secure results in any way pro- 

 portionate to such an outlay? The 

 speaker was sure that it would. He 

 spoke of a practical man to run the 

 plant arid of a retail store that would 

 train young men for positions of re- 

 sponsibility in the city shops. 



The club put forward its ablest 

 speaker. It was the general opinion 



that he handled the situation admir- 

 ably. He said that the club heartily 

 approved of the advancement of horti- 

 culture at the state college. He said 

 that the short course for six to eight 

 weeks would benefit every florist, but 

 he did not approve of the club recom- 

 mending the proposed large outlay. He 

 thought such expense unnecessary. 



The representative of the college was 

 visibly disappointed, but he was a gopd 

 sport and entered with spirit into the 

 quiz that followed, showing by his an- 

 swers that he was thoroughly posted on 

 floricultural matters all over the coun- 

 try. He laid stress on his desire to 

 prove to the practical experts that the 

 same soil could be used successfully for
