CAMPUS HAS
AN ORCHARD
BOTANY CLASS AT UNIVERSITY
BEGINS CULTIVATION OF
KING OF ALL FRUITS.
Interesting Exercises at Planting and
Some Peculiar Names Suggested
for the Younglings-Dismai Fail
ure of Class to Respond to Closing
Musical Number of Program.

The first orchard eve planted in this
city was set out yesterday by the Bot
any Ill class at the university, headed
by Prof. Aven Nelson and Miss Charles.
There are thirteen members of the
class, which consists of Misses Mary
Grimes, Matte Wallis, Harriet Abbot,
Edna Biddick, Daisy Moss, Leslie Cook,
Evangeline Downey, Mabel Sodergreen
and Annie O'Keete and Messrs. Will
Thompson, Thurman Arnold, Edward
Roberts and George Wheeler. The
trees were a lot presented by ]. E..
Chappell, the nurseryman at Buffalo,
and were a thrifty lot of young trees.
Exercises at the Planting.
The trees were planted near the
Flagstaff on the campus at $3.50 yester-
day Afternoon, there being some very
interesting exercises b. the members
of the class. 1t was the intention to
have rendered in the Shade of the Old
Apple Tree" at the close, but the tune
became so wildly and wierdly fantas-
tic that it was lost in the cleaning and
has been returned in pieces. 1t was
pitched to such an extent that it fall
ed to do justice. There was a poem or
two that shared a worse fate, and a
suggestion or two from an outsider,
whose knowledge of how not to plant
trees would keep several typesetting
machines going for a long run. How
ever, with the aid of Farmer" Mel
sons sage advice-not sage-brush ad-
vice-the trees were planted and duly
named. Each member of the class has
a tree properly named. That belong
ing to DIR. Nelson is "Nelsonium,' Miss
Charles named her tree from the auth
or of the text book on botany, John
Coulter, but as the class hate the book
and the author with an undying hatred
they gave it another name.
A Composite ~Cognomen.
Six members of the class failed to
come to the front in the matter of
names, SO one of the trees was bunch
ed" taking its name from the initials
of the six, "Hew" for Harriet, Edna
and VIII, and BAT" from Biddick, Alb
bot and Thompson-"Hewbat," which
is a good name. Other titles are
"Garime's Favorite,' Moss Grown
Cooking" 'Downey," Diamond Dick,
the Terror of the Plain "A~eneaedae,'
Jack the Giant Killer ~"So-green'
and "Nihil." Other names were sug-
gested, but The Republican's Mergen-
thaler refuses to tackle them. The eX-
ercises were very brief, but were
full of action from the first s~hovelful
to the last, and if the trees do not gr5w
it wiz be no fault of the class or its
teacher.
