Some Remarks Upon Flower-beds.

[The following abstract of a builettn by Prof. Tr... H.
Bailey ('82) of Cornell University, we have Deen asked

to publish as especially applicable to our own campus,
—-EDITOR.]

It is commonly assumed that many
people have no love or appreciation of
flowers, but itis probably nearer to the
truth to say that no person is wholly lack-
ing inthis respect. Hven those persons
who declare that they care nothing tor
flowers, are generally deceived by their
dislike of flower-beds and the conven-
tional methods of flower-growing. |
Know many people who stontly deny
Any liking for flowers, but who, never-
theless, are rejoiced with the blossoming
of the orchards and the >
the. clover fields. The fault is not so
much with the persons themselves as
- with the methods of growing: and” dis-

playing the flowers. :
‘The greatest fault with our flower
growing is the stinginess of it.

flower-beds which are so common in

_ These beds are cut from the good fresh

“aad.are filled with such plants as the
women ‘of the place may be able to carry
over in cellars or in the window. The
platits themselves may look very weil in
pots, but when they are, turned out of
‘deors they have a sorry time for a month
adapting: themselves to the sun and winds,
and it is generally well oa towards mid-
_ symmer before they begin to cover the
earth... During all these weeks they have
demanded more time and labor than
would have been seeded to have cared
for a. plantation of much greater size, and
which would have given. flowers every
day from the time the birds began to nest
inthe spring -until the last robin had
| flown i in November. |

ved: we might. say flower-border. Any

ing. sets bounds to the place, makes it
one’s own; it is homelike. The person

Wild flowers are particularly effective.

Everyone knows that many of the native |

of Agriculture. by popular vote has been
‘their remedy most frequently suggested.
As far as we. can learn, however, no one
has yet proposed directly -to place the
college under the control of the regents

“proposition which connects the Agricul-
ctural College withthe university even in

secondly, it would give the college a

> “Phirdly, ‘in regard to. the. university,
such a ‘union: weuld: very materially

strengthen. it, incréasing its attendance,

enlarging ‘its sphere of influence and
placing it still another step in-advance of
its contemporaries. | :
... Phe objections to such a union as that
proposed are numerors. We. are told
that the agricultural-colleges which have

-been -ervbadied in. the state universitres

all.ever the country have been gradually
overshadowed -by {the various other
courses: This objection is indeed -a

strong one, bui does it apply to the case |

in hand? Ifthe condition of these colleges
be examined it will be seen that the agri-
cultural college is in each case in the
same place as are the other departments,
eften being sheltered beneath the same
roof:-and -holdiag many of its classes in
common with the other departments.
This readily explains the failure of these
colleges... Mhere is a certain odium which
must inevitably attach itself to an indus-
trial course when.-brought into intimate

yelation with the more refined and “gen-.

* teel’? classical. studies. This condition
doesnot obtain in.the case under discus-
sion. - We are so far removed from the
university: that no such deteriorating in-
fluence could possibly be felt. Another
‘objection-to this-plan would prebably be
“made, were the matter ever very strongly

agitated, in the form of a plea that the

result likely to follow the college could not
suffer materially as it would still possess
the liberal endowment which the gener-
osity of the state and national govern-
ments has provided for it, and which can-

not be diverted to other ends.

Tt has been said that our college is
gradually developing into a great indus-
that in afew years we
shall see, not a single school of agriculture
and mechanics, but a collection of indus-
trial colleges, colleges of agriculture, of
horticulture, of diarying, of veterinary,
of mechanical, electrical and civil en-
gineering. Such a prospect could be
more pleasing only when we inciude all
these with the various departments of the
present university and: with. the mimng
and normal schools into a vast state uni-

‘versity, a university whose position would

be unrivalled not.only in this country but
in the old world as well. _
