The Weekly Florists' Review. 



November 30, 1911. 



AMHEBST, MASS. 



The short course in floriculture at the 

 Massachusetts Agricultural College will 

 be given as usual, beginning January 

 2 and closing March 8. The lecture 

 course will cover general subjects of in- 

 terest and value to the commercial 

 florist. The afternoon will be spent 

 in practical work in the greenhouse 

 range. In addition to the lectures 

 given on distinctly floricultural sub- 

 jects, lectures in soil fertility, botany 

 and entomology will be required and 

 other lectures on field crops, fruit grow- 

 ing, market gardening or landscape 

 gardening may be taken. On Saturdays 

 observation trips will be taken to some 

 of the commercial greenhouses in the 

 vicinity of Amherst and one trip will 

 be arranged to the commercial places 

 in the eastern part of the state. The 

 practical men who have cooperated so 

 generously in making the course a suc- 

 cess in other yeara will again give lec- 

 tures on their special topics. It is ex- 

 pected that this special lecture course 

 will include talks by W. E. Cobb on

 nection with this meeting.
