Morning Work.—During the three years, the regular gar- 
den pupils are assigned to the various departments, both in- 
doors and outdoors, the work being arranged to afford as 
much experience and practice as possible in propagating, 
growing, and caring for the very large variety of plants main- 
tained at the Garden. The time devoted to each department 
will depend upon circumstances. 
Scholarships.—Six scholarships, of the annual value of 
$350 each, are offered to students between the ages of sixteen 
and twenty years, possessing at least the education afforded 
by a regular high school course of recognized standing, or 
its equivalent. Since a scholarship may be reconferred upon 
the original recipient for two additional years, there are 
ordinarily but two scholarships to be awarded each year. All 
scholarships are awarded by a competitive examination held 
on the first Saturday in September, in the administration 
building of the Garden, Tower Grove and Botanical Avenues. 
Application blanks may be obtained at the Director’s office 
and must be returned not later than August 15. Examina- 
tions are held in United States History, English Literature, 
Arithmetic, Algebra, Elements of Botany and one other
