SCHOOL FOR GARDENING 
The School for Gardening of the Missouri Botanical Garden, 
provided for in the will of Henry Shaw, is maintained for the 
purpose of training young men and wemen in a thorough 
knowledge of all the branches of floriculture, horticulture, and 
landscape design, as well as certain aspects of systematic and 
economic botany. The course as arranged covers three years’ 
work and cannot be completed in less time. The mornings 
during the entire course are devoted to practical work in the 
various departments of the Garden, both indoors and out- 
doors, the work being arranged to afford as much experience 
and practice as possible in propagating, growing, and caring 
for the large variety of plants maintained in the Garden col- 
lections. The afternoons are given over to theoretical work 
and lectures in the different courses offered.
