u plant," and the question " to dig " or " not to dig " in connection with 

 raspberries proved a pitfall to many. Considerable attention appears to 

 have been paid to plant pests, but the word "blight" is still used to 

 cover a multitude of things, where terms of more definite meaning might 

 be better applied. 



Candidates who have attained a low place in the examination or who 

 have failed to pass should not be discouraged, but should endeavour to 

 pay attention to, and observe, every little detail in the cultivation of the 

 plants which are commonly grown in gardens, to the form which the 

 plants assume, and to the way in which they respond to the care that is 

 bestowed upon them. Only one candidate who attempted the question 

 realised the difference between the tuber of the potato and the tuberous 

 root of the dahlia, and yet, if only from a cultural point of view, 

 knowledge such as this is of the utmost importance to any one who 

 aspires to become a gardener.
