Collection of Herbaceous Perennials. 

 This spring a botanical collection of 

 herbaceous perennials has been started 

 under the immediate supervision of 

 A. S. Thurston, who has been making 

 a special study of this subject. The 

 collection, which contains about 400 

 different species and varieties, will be 

 used for class study, observation and 

 experimental study. " The collection will 

 be added to annually, and it is intended 

 to make this collection the largest and 

 best in New England. The garden is 

 composed of eighteen beds, with ij-foot 

 grass walks. The main part of the 

 garden is made up of three series of 

 beds, with four beds in a series; each 

 of the beds is fifty-four feet long 

 and twelve feet wide. One row of six 

 plants of each species or variety is the 

 unit, and for convenience of study each 

 genus is kept together. At the head 

 of the garden there is a double row of 

 beds, each thirty feet long and eight 

 feet wide. To one side of the garden 

 there are three large blocks of peonies. 



Various Notes. 



With the close of the college year, 

 the regular work in floriculture has 

 ended. Professor A. H. Nehrling, the 

 head of the department, will stay in 

 Amherst through the month of July to 

 teach in the summer school, in which 

 he offers two courses, one in amateur 

 floriculture and one in garden flowers. 

 At the close of the summer school. Pro- 

 fessor Nehrling will take a trip to the 

 Pacific coast, where he will attend the 

 two expositions and also take in the 

 S. A. F. convention. He will return 

 by way of Florida, where he will visit 

 his father, Henry Nehrling. 



A. S. Thurston, the assistant in flori- 

 culture, will spend the summer in gradu- 

 ate study at Cornell University. 



The department strongly advises its 

 students to get all the practical ex- 

 perience possible, and so each summer 

 a number of the men go out into prac- 

 tical work. As usual, the department 

 has placed a number of men for the 

 summer. 



During the summer months, the de- 

 partment will make numerous repairs, 

 among which will be the painting of 

 the greenhouses and the construction I 

 of concrete frames. '
