The number of students attending the Bussey Institution this year is less than it has been for several years, owing to the falling off in interest in landscape gardening. A few men, however, come in even as late as Christmas. A new course is given this year by Mr. Morse on Natural History from an agricultural point of view, and more special attention is being given to Mr. Watson's course in landscape gardening. It shows the value of trees and shrubs for ornamental purposes, and instructs in practical greenhouse work.
Mr. Jack, who last year organized a somewhat popular class to study the trees in the adjoining Arnold Arboretum, is continuing the class again this year.
