The first students horticultural
shows were presented by the
campus Crabapple Club, later
renamed the Horticultural Club,
to display horticultural products.
From these first endeavors, the
show has grown to an exhibit
covering 10,000 square feet.
This year’s event consists of
five exhibits, each designed and
assembled by a student chair
man. There will also be a sales
area. Working around the theme,
“Horticulture in and Around the
Home,” the exhibits will present
both new and familiar ways to
bring plants into your life.
The first exhibit will be the
introduction and dedication. This
sets the mood for the entire show
while presenting the dedication.

Scholarship Aid Needed
New and -larger scholarships
are being sought for students in
the College of Agriculture at The
Pennsylvania State University.
While 107 scholarships were
awarded to agricultural students
last year at Penn State, the
average amount was $246. That’s
low in view of rising costs for
tuition, room and board, books,
and other expenses, according to
Dr. Robert E. Swope, assistant
dean for resident education in
agriculture.
He suggested that both new and
old scholarships be established at
a level of at least $5OO per year.
He encouraged businesses and
industries to support one or more
students who are preparing to
A front yard, the next exhibit,
will show how a house can give a
warm and friendly feeling. The
students want to demonstrate
how a well planned, neatly kept
front yard can put a family’s best
foot forward.
Plants can do much to brighten
up the house interior and
backyard. This is the idea for the
next three exhibits. Interior
horticulture Is one of the most
rapidly growing aspects of the
profession. The interior exhibit
will include plants ranging from
a terrarium to large house plants.
A backyard garden will
illustrate one approach to a
relaxing and money saving
hobby. The exhibit will contain
many easily grown vegetable
plants. The backyard should also
be a private palce of retreat and
relaxation for the family. The
backyard exhibit will include a
picnic area.
Pi Alpha Xi, honorary hor
ticultural society, will present a
display about plant iden
tification.
The sales area will contain
many plants used in the exhibits.
Also included will be corn, ap
ples, cider, and other hor
ticultural products. Proceeds
from the sale will go to a student
faculty banquet, a field trip for
participating students, and a gift
to the department.

enter the agricultural
professions. Presently,
scholarships from
“agribusiness” make up only 18
per cent of the total.
As proof that educational costs
are increasing, about 20 per cent
of the students in the College of
Agriculture required loans
totaling $463,649 during 1971-72.
Scholarships at the same time
came to $26,345.
Presently, 58 per cent of
scholarship support for
agricultural students comes from
individuals, he reported. An
additional 24 per cent of the
scholarships come from non
profit agricultural associations.
Most awards are made on the
basis of scholarship achievement
and f mancial need.
