AMHEBST, MASS. 



During the last week a variety of 

 subjects were discussed in the florists' 

 short course at the Massachusetts Agri- 

 cultural College, owing to the absence 

 of Professor White, who attended the 

 meetings of the Illinois Florists' Asso 

 ciation at Urbana, 111., and visited 

 large commercial places near Chicago. 



On Tuesday, F. J. Elder, heating ex- 

 pert for the Lord & Burnham Co., Irv- 

 ington, N. Y., spoke on "Heating Prob- 

 lems." He illustrated his talk by a 

 large number of blue prints of ranges 

 heated by his firm, which made the talk 

 interesting and helpful. 



On "Wednesday, J. K. Shaw, who is 

 in charge of the plant breeding work 

 at the Massachusetts experiment sta- 

 tion, lectured on "The Principles of 

 Breeding for the Improvement of Va- 

 rieties." On Friday afternoon he gave 

 the class a practical exercise in cross- 

 ing. Carnations and primulas were 

 used for this work. 



On Thursday, Prof. F. Wm. Kane, 

 the state forester, gave a series of spe- 

 cial lectures, morning, afternoon and 

 evening, on "Forestry," and attend- 

 ance at these was required of the flori- 

 cultural students. 



On Friday morning, Prof. D. Haskins, 

 of the Massachusetts experiment sta- 

 tion, spoke on "Commercial Fertilizers 

 for Greenhouse Work." 



During the present week, Eber 

 Holmes, of Montrose, spoke Tuesday 

 afternoon on "Practical Methods in 

 Rose Growing," and on Friday, C. H. 

 Totty, of Madison, N. J., speaks on 

 "Chrysanthemum Culture." 



Herington, Kan. — The Herington 

 Greenhouses, formerly the property of 

 Mrs. Rissman, have been purchased by 

 William Gordon, of Topeka. Mr. Gor- 

 don has also bought a tract of land 

 near the greenhouses and will give 

 part of his attention to nursery stock.

We have decided to disseminate our new Crimson Carnation 



POCAHONTAS 



We have grown this variety four years and have found it highly profitable. 

 Our local retailers assert that crimson carnations with quality, such as Poca- 

 hontas possesses, will sell as well as any other color, the main trouble having 

 been in getting crimson blooms with quality equal to the standards in other 

 colors. Pocahontas has size and all the other qualities that make up a strictly 

 first-class carnation, and it gives you enough bloom to pay you to grow it. 

 Every visitor will substantiate this claim. Our stock is in fine condition, but 

 limited. So get your order in at once. 



$18.00 per 100; $100.00 per 1000. 



Let the Gleranium orders continue to come.
