TEACHERS' EXAMINATION IN SCHOOL AND COTTAGE 

 GARDENING. 



HONOURS EXAMINATION. 



April 26 and June 27, 1919. 



Fifteen candidates entered for the Teachers' Honours Examination. 

 Of these eight satisfied the Examiners, whilst six failed, and one candi- 

 date did not present himself. 



The examination comprised three parts — written, practical, and 

 viva voce. The practical and viva voce examinations were held at 

 the Society's Gardens at Wisley, Surrey. 



"The Examiners, Mr. F. J. Chittenden, F.L.S., V.M.H., Mr. C. R. 

 Fielder, V.M.H., and Mr. C. W. Mayhew, report that in the practical 

 part the best work was done on the ground, that with fruit was 

 generally fair, but the indoor work was poor. The tests by 

 which manures may readily be distinguished were not known, nor 

 was the descriptive work good. 



Candidates who have secured the certificate this year may next 

 year take any other section than that in which they have passed, if 

 they wish to do so. Passes in additional sections will be endorsed 

 on the original certificate. 



The Examination is divided into the following sections : 



(a) General Horticulture as applicable to School and Cottage 

 Gardens. 



(b) Fruit-growing in the open. 



(c) Vegetable-growing in the open, or with only the most simple 

 protective aids. 



(d) Diseases and pests.
