Charles D. Ball, one of our ablest 

 growers, felt this need so keenly that 

 he sent his son to State College, Penn- 

 sylvania, in order that he might learn 

 8J1 that could be of assistance to him in 

 Ws life work. Of course this is im- 

 possible for most of us, but there is a 

 course in State College which can be 

 takon by any florist who is willing to 

 "lake the effort. This is the correspond- 

 ence course that is given in a variety of 

 subjects that are left to the choice of 

 ^he student. These subjects include all 

 the most practical parts of horticultural 

 ^oci other kindred pursuits. For in- 

 stance, commercial fertilizers are 

 •J'eated in a course of seven lessons, 

 ''aoh lesson is sent in turn to the stu- 

 aent, who must thoroughly master it, 

 ^'■ite his answers and return it to his 

 Professor at the college before he re- 

 vives the next lesson. Some of these 

 essons are quite simple and will be 



easily acquired by most of our growers. 

 Others are difficult, requiring a lot of 

 hard work to thoroughly master them. 

 When mastered they well repay all the 

 time and trouble given. 



It is a well known fact that farms 

 that have proved unprofitable in the 

 past are today paying through the ap- 

 plication of college methods. That our 

 best men believe this will be the case 

 in the greenhouse is shown by the in- 

 terest they take in these methods. Each 

 one of us can gain at some weak point 

 by devoting a few evening hours each 

 week to a couple of subjects in a cor- 

 respondence course at college. 



This course is absolutely free to the 

 student. There is no charge for tuition; 

 the only cost is for paper, envelopes, 

 postage stamps and a book or two. 



The Kentias at Wyncote. 



Joseph Heacock led the way through 



the palm houses with that proper pride 

 that every good grower should have in 

 fine stock. "It is something like the 

 circus; when you have seen it once you 

 know about what to expect," he said. 

 Yet everyone with a drop of sporting 

 blood in his veins enjoys a good circus^ 

 so you can understand the unfailing 

 pleasure always derived from a walk 

 through these palm houses with Mr. 

 Heacock. Particular interest attaches 

 to those houses just now because of a 

 great auction sale of palms. The street 

 IS tremendously agitated over this sale. 

 All kinds of rumors are current. Mr. 

 Heacock gave the facts simply. There 

 were too many large kentias in one size, 

 12-inch, to carry over winter, so it was 

 decided that 200 of them should bo 

 sold at auction in New York without 

 reserve. This cut down the number 

 of specimens and, with the regular sales 

 in all sizes, will make enough room to
