The Florists' Review 



June 18, 1914. 



STATE COLLEGE, PA. 



The new Horticultural building was 

 dedicated with appropriate ceremonies 

 "Wednesday, June 10. In a brief sketch, 

 Dean E. L. Watts called attention to 

 the importance of the various horticul- 

 tural products of the state as reported 

 in the 1910 census. The figures show 

 that vegetables that year had a value 

 of $10,013,920 and fruit $10,691,679. 

 Flowers, plants and nursery products 

 had a value of $4,344,450. On the basis 

 of the total value of the horticultural 

 industries of the state, $25,050,049, the 

 investment in the Horticultural build- 

 ing at the college is thus seen to be less 

 than one two-hundredth. C. J. Tyson, 

 president of the Horticultural Society 

 of Pennsylvania, discussed the develop- 

 ment of horticulture at the college and 

 pointed particularly to the wonderful 

 growth made in the accession of stu- 

 dents. The total enrollment of students 

 in the school of agriculture during the 

 last decade has increased fifteen times 

 and that of students enrolled in the 

 various courses of horticulture more 

 than twenty times. * 



A pastel portrait of Gabriel Heister, 

 a graduate and a former trustee of the 

 institution and formerly president of 

 the State Horticultural Society, was the 

 gift of the Crab Apple Club, a student 

 organization. Bruce W. Bell presented, 

 in behalf of the landscape gardening 

 department, a portrait of IVederick Law 

 Olmsted, the greatest American land- 

 scape gardener. In a brief address the 

 new head of the department. Professor 

 M. G. Kains, sketched the "Potentiali- 

 ties of Horticulture in Pennsylvania." 

 Professor F. A. Waugh, of the Massa- 

 chusetts Agricultural College, delivered 

 the address of the day, "The Arts of 

 Peace. ' '
