WITH THE GROWERS These points are fully elaborated in the catalogue issued by the college of agriculture. The equipment for carrying on the work of the course will consist of a service building, four greenhouses and the gardens. The service building is a one-story plaster structure containing a large and well lighted work room, offices, cut flower cool room, storage rooms aTid a boiler room. These rooms are equipped with the necessary tools for the operation of the plant. Connected with the service building, by a corridor, or connecting house, are four greenhouses each 28x105 feet and, while primarily intended for ex- perimental purposes, furnish much material for class work. The facili- ties for instruction will be greatly in- creased by devoting one of these entirely to the general work of the course. These buildings are all of the best type of modern construction and make a model commercial plant. The buildings are heated from an inde- pendent heating plant thus giving an excellent chance for the study of greenhouse heating. The remainder of the greenhouse equipment is that of a commercial place. The experi- mental work being carried on in the houses is all on a commercial scale and is open to study by all students in floricultural work. Fronting the service building is a sunken garden about 50x200 feet filled with various kinds of tender bedding plants. This garden, as well as the herbaceous garden, is open to the use of the students. Instruction will be carried on much in the same manner as in the other courses by means of lectures, quizzes, and lab- oratory work. The laboratory work will consist of actual practice in the greenhouses so that the student may become famihar with both the meth- ods and the plants. It is intended to develop a student who, upon grad- uation, will be fitted to enter a com- mercial positi
