SCOTCH SOOT 



Where there is a house that is just tuU of 

 buds almost ready to show color, nothing 

 will turn better color into the flowers than a 

 little soot, that can be scattered over the 

 benches before watering. The amount ap- 

 plied should not be excessive, as the soot is 

 very strong and may damage some of the 

 foliage somewhat. Apply just enough to 

 blacken the surface of the soil in the benches 

 and let it go at that. Better a little oftener 

 than too much all at once. 



We offer the irenuine in 

 original cwt. sacks, at 



$2.75 per 112 lbs.; $12.80 per 560 lbs.

AMHERST, MASS. 



Professor A. 11. Nehrling, of the flo- 

 ric'ultural department of the Massachu- 

 setts Agricultural College, has made 

 plans for a general enlargement of the 

 work of his department. For some time 

 past it has been found that because of 

 the increased enrollment and the prog- 

 ress that has been made in conse- 

 quence, the present equipment is en- 

 tirely inadequate. When the addition 

 to French Hall is completed it is ex- 

 pected that the original part of the 

 building will be given up entirely to 

 floriculture. A reading room devoted 

 to floricultural subjects "will be in- 

 stalled; a room flor storage purposes 

 and a workroom fitted up with modern 

 equipment will also be provided. Pro- 

 fessor Nehrling is also planning a com- 

 plete reorganization of the courses, 

 making them more specialized and pro- 

 fessional, in order to fit the men for 

 practical work. This is in accordance 

 with the example set by the, University 

 of Illinois, which at its last commence- 

 ment granted the first college degree 

 in floriculture ever" given in this coun- 



try.; ''\ 



x seminar f»r the menftere af the 

 senior class has been introduced for the 

 discussion of special problems in ad- 

 vanced work. A number of men are 

 intending to take up graduate work if 

 the necessary facilities are provided. 

 It is hoped that more greenhouses will 

 be added in the near future to accom- 

 modate the increasing number of regu- 

 lar and short course students, as it is 

 essential thi£'^ the departm«nt should 

 have more space for practical work for 

 these students.
