EXAMINATION IN HORTICULTURE. 
Three hundred marks were allotted as a maximum, and all 
candidates who obtained 200 marks and upwards were placed in 
the first class ; those who received between 150 and 200 marks 
were placed in the second class ; and those to whom 100 marks 
and upwards were adjudged were ranked in the third class. 
The remainder, who obtained fewer than 100 marks, were not 
classed. 
In this way 12 candidates were adjudged worthy to be placed 
in the first class, 37 in the second, and 73 in the third class. 
The highest number of marks obtained was 260, by Miss A. U. 
Gulvin, of the Horticultural College, Swanley. 
Considering the opportunities at the disposal of the candi- 
dates, the results may be considered satisfactory. The effect of 
continuous systematic training is well exemplified in the class 
lists. On the other hand, many young gardeners and mechanics, 
who cultivate small gardens and allotments, but who have not 
had the opportunity of regular tuition and systematic study, 
have taken a lower place than they otherwise would have 
done, because they have failed to grasp the significance of the 
questions. 
We have the honour to be, Gentlemen, your obedient 
servants,
