20 MISSOURI BOTANICAL GARDEN, 
GARDENING INSTRUCTION. 
‘The course in gardening remains essentially unchanged‘. 
The following changes are to be reported in the holders of 
scholarships: Mr. Edwin Nyden and Mr. Arthur Smith, 
who had completed the prescribed course, were awarded 
certificates in March, and entered on work in the line of 
their profession. On nomination of the St. Louis Florist 
Club, one of the liberated scholarships was given to Mr. 
Fred Grossart, of Belleville, Ill., and the other was awarded, 
on examination, to Mr. Cecil Wakeley, of Louisiana, Mo. 
In the course of the year Mr. Clark Craig, who had held a 
scholarship for two years, resigned it to assume the manage- 
ment of a large farm owned by his father. This scholarship 
was held by Mr. John H. Chilton during the summer, but in 
the autumn both he and Mr. Wakeley relinquished their 
scholarships, which are now vacant. The customary notice 
has been issued in the expectation of re-awarding both in 
the early spring. 
UNDERGRADUATE INSTRUCTION, 
No considerable changes have been made in the equip- 
ment of the School of Botany laboratories or in the courses 
of instruction, though both have been somewhat bettered.4 
At the beginning of the present academic year, Mr. G. L. 
Peltier, a graduate of the University of Wisconsin, was 
awarded the Teaching Fellowship in botany, held last year 
by Mr. P. L. Gainey.
