is willing to hold an Examination wherever a magistrate, clergyman, 

 schoolmaster, or other responsible person accustomed to examinations 

 will consent to supervise one on the Society's behalf. 



The Examination will not be held outside the British Isles until 

 further notice. 



In connexion with this Examination a Scholarship of £25 a year 

 for two years is offered by the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, to 

 be awarded after the 1914 Examination to the student who shall 

 pass highest, if he is willing to accept the conditions attaching thereto. 

 The main outline of these conditions is that the holder must be of the 

 male sex, and between the ages of 18 and 22 years, and that he should 

 study gardening for one year at least at the Society's Gardens at 

 Wisley, conforming to the general rules laid down there for Students. 

 In the second year of the Scholarship he may, if he like, continue his 

 studies at some other place at home or abroad which is approved 

 by the Council of the Society. In case of two or more eligible students 

 being adjudged equal, the Council reserve to themselves the right to 

 decide which of them shall be presented to the Scholarship. 



2. The Society will also hold an Examination in Cottage Gardening 

 on April 22, 1914. This Examination is intended for, and is confined 

 to Elementary and Technical School Teachers. It is undertaken 

 in view of the increasing demand in country districts that the School- 

 master shall be competent to teach the elements of Cottage Gardening, 

 and the absence of any test of such competence. The general conduct 

 of this Examination is on similar lines to that of the more general 

 Examination. Questions on Elementary Chemistry and Biology are 

 included in this Examination. 



Medals and Certificates are awarded and Class Lists published 

 in connexion with these Examinations. The Syllabus may be 

 obtained on application to the Secretary, R.H.S., Vincent Square, 

 Westminster, S.W. 



26. INFORMATION. 



Fellows may obtain information and advice from the Society as to 

 the names of flowers and fruit, on points of practice, insect and fungoid 

 attacks, and other questions, by applying to the Secretary, R.H.S., 

 Vincent Square, Westminster, S.W. Where at all practicable it is 

 particularly requested that letters and specimens may be timed to reach 

 Vincent Square by the first post on the mornings of the Fortnightly 

 Meetings, so as to be laid before the Scientific or other Committees at 

 once. 



27. INSPECTION OF FELLOWS' GARDENS.
