The Weekly Florists' Review* 



December 9, 1900. 



AMHERST, MASS. 



The short course in floriculture at the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College last 

 year was so successful that it will again 

 be given, commencing January 4, 1910, 

 and lasting for twelve weeks. Last year 

 the department was somewhat handi- 

 capped because of lack of classroom, 

 laboratory and greenhouse facilities, but 

 with the fine equipment which has been 

 built during the last year this aifficulty 

 has been obviated. French hall has ex- 

 cellent classrooms and laboratories and 

 the range of greenhouses of the commer- 

 cial type is up-to-date in every respect. 



Aside from the lectures dealing spe- 

 cifically with the growth of florists' 

 crops, greenhouse construction, heating, 

 management and the marketing of flower 

 products, there will be lectures by spe- 

 cialists from the college faculty on 

 greenhouse insects, diseases of greenhouse 

 crops, soils, fertilizers, and general plant 

 life or botany. 



Last year one of the most valuable 

 features of the course was the various 

 talks by practical growers. These will 

 be repeated this year and the following 

 well-known men have consented to talk 

 on their specialties: W. H. Elliott, of 

 Brighton, Mass., and Madbury, N. H., 

 will talk on rose growing. Eber Holmes, 

 of Montrose, will give his personal ex- 

 periences along this same line of work. 

 Peter Fisher will speak on the improve- 

 ment of the carnation by breeding and 

 give personal experiences in carnation 

 culture. M. A. Patten, of Tewksbury, 

 will give his experiences with this im- 

 portant crop. E. O. Orpet, of South 

 Lancaster, will speak on orchids. Will- 

 iam Sim, of Cliftondale, will speak one 

 afternoon on. ' * Sweet Pea Culture Under 

 Glass" and in the evening will speak on 

 violet culture. E. MacMulkin, of Boston, 

 speaks on retail marketing. E. J. Elder, 

 of the Lord & Burnham Co., will talk 

 on greenhouse heating. It is expected 

 that several experts will be present and 

 give valuable suggestions in regard to 

 the culture of other crops, but these ar- 

 rangements have not been fully com- 

 pleted. 



Each Saturday during the twelve weeks 

 will be devoted to an observation trip 

 to some greenhouse establishment, where 

 details of management will be studied. 

 The cost of this course will be compara- 

 tively small. No tuition is charged. The 

 rent for furnished rooms in private fam- 

 ilies ranges from $1 to $2 per week. 

 Board can be had at the college dining 

 hall at $3.75 per week. Aside from 

 these expenses the incidental items for 

 books, traveling expenses on observation 

 trips, etc., will be small. 



The Review will send the Book of 

 Grafted Eoses for 25 cents.
