RESULTS. As has been stated above, a large part of 

 the course is reserved to practical instruction in the school 

 of Ghent, but enough theoretical instruction is given to 

 enable students to fill with success appointments in 

 different branches of horticulture. 



The value of this instruction is clearly shown by the 

 number of situations obtained by the students : 



Amongst these are : i country gardeners; 2 special 

 gardeners; 3 land agents; 4 directors of plantations and 

 botanic gardens ; 5 explorers ; 6 agriculturists ; 7 horti- 

 cultural lecturers; 8 professors and directors of horticul- 

 tural schools; 9 garden and hot Itouse architects; 10 nur- 

 sery men; 11 horticultural merchants. 



The school of Ghent has largely contributed to the 

 progress of Ghent's horticulture, which has a world wide 

 reputation. 



A great many foreign countries hsxve asked for tech- 

 nical and intellectual horticultural men who achieved 

 their studies at the Horticultural School of Ghent.
