Flower Models for Harvard.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Some very valuable additions are soon to be made to Harvard's collection of glass flower models. The secret of making these models is known only to the Blasckkas of Dresden. These men are bound by contract to work only for Harvard for the next nine years, so that at the end of that time Harvard will have a collection of models of practically all the flowers known. The younger Blasckka is now in Jamaica, studying the plants of the island. In a few weeks, he will come to Cambridge, as the guest of Professor Goodale, Afterwards, he will travel west, making a collection of the typical American flowers, and then return to Germany, and begin the work of reproducing them.
