Tho K^'ufral requirements are that 

 fiich student have a reasonably general 

 education, although no entrance exam- 

 inations . will be required. As only 

 twenty-five students will be enrolled 

 this seniester, it is desirable that appli- 

 cants rcf^ister early. If possible, each 

 student should have a personal recom- 

 mendation from some person of his ac- 

 (juaintance, to show the applicant's ex- 

 perience in nursery work. The college, 

 •f course, reserves the right to dismiss 

 any candidate obviously unqualified. 



Those completing the course with 

 credit will receive the short course cer- 

 tificate of the college. No tuition is to 

 be charged, but there will be a regis- 

 tration fee of $5 and each man will be 

 obliged to buy his own books. Board 

 and room will cost, no doubt, between 

 $9 and $10 per week. 



Those desiring more information are 

 .uiviscd to communicate with any mem- 

 ber of the committee or with Professor 

 Frank A. Waugh, Amherst, Mass. The 

 members of the committee of the New 

 p]ngland Nurserymen's Association are 

 as follows: Chairman, Richard Wyman, 

 Framingham Nurseries, Framingham, 

 Mass.; T. F. Borst, Little Tree Farms, 

 Framingham, Maaa.; W. E. Campbell, 

 Elm City Nurseries, New Haven, Conn. 

 The Massachusetts Nurserymen's Asso- 

 ciation is represented by Harlan P. Kel- 

 soy, Salera, Mass. 



HARTFORD, CONN. 



Tlie Market. 



Practically all of the stores here re- 

 port business as improved, but not up to 

 tho standard set by other years. Chrys- 

 anthemums are in good demand, better 

 by far than anticipated by most grow- 

 ers, at $18 to $30 per hundred. They re- 

 tail at $3 to $6 per dozen. Ophelia, Pria- 

 cilla, Mrs. Humphrey Ward and Colum- 

 bia roses are plentiful at $6 to $12 ])ct 

 hundred and retail at $1.50 to .$3 per 

 dozen. Violets from local growera are 

 poor in quality, due to the dry, warm 

 spell this season. These plants suffered 

 a great deal from the long drought be- 

 fore being planted inside. Violets re- 

 ceived from growers along the Hudson 

 river in New York are much superior 

 in form and color and are readily sold 

 at $1 per bunch of fifty. They are of- 

 fered at $1 per hundred wholesale. 



Various Notes. 



George F. Lane, 180 Asylum street, 

 made several large designs for the fu- 

 neral of George L. Marsh, vice-president 

 and general manager of the Fuller 

 Brush Co., Monday, November 7. Mr. 

 Lane's newly arranged store, with its 

 neat window" displays, attracts the eyes 

 of hundreds of people who pass the store 

 daily.

 had several large pieces at the Stein 

 funeral and will furnish several large 

 bouquets for the opening of the new 

 building of the Hartford Fire Insurance 

 Co. Mr. MacKay went to New Rochelle, 

 N. Y., by auto November .5 and spent 

 that week-end with relatives and 

 friends.

 neaa and has had good demand for the

 which he offers Saturdays at $1.50.
