 Northampton, the second to the conserva- 

 tories connected with Mt. Holyoke Col- 

 lege, and the last to the large commer- 

 cial establishment of A. N. Pierson, 

 Cromwell, Conn. On each of these trips 

 the students have been provided with 

 outlines and have been required to make 

 notes on special types of construction 

 and the different cultural methods used. 



Aside from the general lectures of the 

 course, a talk each week has been given 

 by some practical man, on various fea- 

 tures connected Avith greenhouse work. 

 The speakers thus far have been F. J. 

 Elder, heating expert, Lord & Burnham

 Eber Holmes, Montrose, Mass., who gave 

 an interesting and instructive talk on 

 rose culture. On Tuesday, February 8,

 the course to have Charles H. Totty, of 

 Madison, N. J., talk on chrysanthemums. 

 Edward MacMulkin, of Boston, was 

 scheduled to lecture on the retail trade, 

 but -was prevented from doing so because 

 of sickness. 



Twenty four-year students are taking 

 the floricultural course this year. The 

 first half of the year has been devoted 

 wholly to practical work, and few lec- 

 tures have been given. The work has 

 been under the direct supervision of the 

 instructor in floriculture, and has in- 

 cluded glazing, concrete bench construc- 

 tion, propagation of bedding plants by 

 cuttings, propagation of carnations, rose 

 grafting and design work. Saturday, 

 January 22. a public exhibition of de- 

 signs made by the students was given in 

 French hall. ' Each student ])reparod for 

 this exhibition a galax wreath with 

 flowers of varying kinds, also an emblem
