The Department of Floriculture at 
the State College of Agriculture, 
Ithaca, N. Y., are making plans for an 
unusually complete and attractive 
short course in floriculture during the 
coming winter. Persons interested in 
outdoor gardening will be able to take 
courses in garden flowers and other 
subjects for work in parks or private 
estates, &c. Even the amateur will 
have attention. Those who contem- 
plate taking such courses should write 
the secretary of the College of Agri- 
culture, Ithaca, N.Y.
