Floriculture day, observed recently 

 in connection with Farmers' week at 

 the Massachusetts Agricultural Col- 

 lege, was a greater success in point of 

 attendance than in any previous year, 

 and the audiences seemed to be greatly 

 appreciative of the lectures or ad- 

 dresses which formed the program for 

 the day. After a few words of wel- 

 come, Prof. F. A. Waugh, head of 

 the division of horticulture, introduced 

 Prof. A. H. Nehrling, who recently be- 

 came head of the department of flori- 

 culture at the college. Prof. Nehrling 

 spoke convincingly on "Opportunities 

 in Floriculture," maintaining the 

 opinion that there are plenty of good 

 opportunities for those who are thor- 

 oughly trained for the work. 



Harry A. Bunyard, of New York, 

 was to have spoken on "Professional 

 Horticulture," but was unable to be 

 present. In his place Prof. Asa G. 

 Kinney, of Mount Holyoke College, 

 gave a talk on ' ' Mushroom Culture 

 as a Side Line for a Practical Flo- 

 rist." T. D. Hatfield, superintendent 

 of the Hunnewell estate, at Wellesley, 

 Mass., spoke instructively on "Rais- 

 ing Plants from Seed," stating that 

 his experience shows that many plants 

 when grown from seed have a ten- 

 dency to become more hardy. Mr. 

 Hatfield is engaged in an attempt, by 

 raising rhododendrons from seed, to 

 create a type that will be suitable for 

 northern latitudes. 



The first speaker of the afternoon 

 was Eber Holmes, of Montrose, Mass., 

 who began his address with a few re- 

 marks on "Roses Under Glass." This 

 subject was to have been discussed by 

 W. H. Elliott, who was unable to be 

 present on account of the death of his 

 mother. The subject of the second 

 and principal part of Mr. Holmes' lec- 

 ture was "Outdoor Rose Culture." E. 

 J. Canning, formerly curator of the 

 botanical gardens at Smith College and 

 now engaged in landscape work, was 

 next on the program with a talk on 

 "Methods of Improving Plants." 

 Prof. Nehrling concluded the program 

 with an illustrated lecture on "Glass 

 Houses in the Middle West." By 

 means of lantern slides he showed the 

 evolution of greenhouse construction 

 during the last twenty-five years.

Gentlemen: In reply to your query would state 

 that 1 planted seedling stoclc plants and snaii- 

 dragon cuttings In the first lot of bands that I 

 received from you early In January. 



We took some of these out and planted them 

 where they are to remain ahout the 15th of 

 February. They made a GOOD GROWTH while 

 In the bands, and transplanted AS THOUGH they 

 had never been moved at all. 



I have now about 14,000 carnation plants 

 started in 2-in. bands which are making a RAPID 

 GROWTH, scarcely losing a plant In transplant- 

 ing from the sand. 



I also have about 20,000 aster plants trans- 

 planted In 2-In. bands which can stay there till 

 time to plant out of doors WITHOUT FEAR OF 

 BECOMING ROOT BOUND, as would be the case 

 if I used 2-in. pots. 



Plants SELDOM BECOME ROOT BOUND 

 enough to Injure them IN THE DIRT BANDS, 

 and DO NOT REQUIRE NEAR THE AMOUNT 

 OF ATTENTION that a pot plant does, in water- 

 ing, shifting, transplanting, etc. 



1 make my bands and set them in flats, as I 

 make them up, each flat holding 117. 



When we get crowded indoors it takes but a 

 short time to move the flats to a cold frame, 

 where we harden them oflT before setting them in 

 the field. 



One man can set MORE THAN ANOTHER 

 TIME AS MANY (twice as many) plants in the 

 field from these bands and flats than he can from 

 pots, and after he is through DOES NOT HAVE 

 THE BOTHER OF GATHERING UP, CLEAN- 

 ING, and STORING AWAY A LOT OF POTS. 



1 believe anyone using these bands ONCE 

 WILL BECOME A REGULAR CUSTOMER. 

 Yours truly, 



H. B. Weaver. 



Mr. Weaver ordered 5000 Dirt Bands in Decem- 

 ber, 40,000 in January, and 20,000 in March.

The Recogrnized Standard Insecticide 

 W. N. CraifiT writes in Florists' Review (March 

 5, 1914): "Scale on greenhouse plants is not 

 easy to get rid of, as doses which are sufficiently 

 strong to kill the scale will usually disfigure the 

 plants at the same time. I have found APHINE 

 a first-class remedy for scale, and if you will ap- 

 ply it according to directions you will liill and 

 loosen the scales, altiiough they will not fall oflf. 

 as will some other pests." 



It will only require the hose to wash oflf dead 

 scale. 



A remedy that is efficient in destroying scale 

 will destroy green, blacli, white fly, red spider, 

 thrips and mealy bug.
