SCHOLARSHIPS. 



Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., President of the Society and 

 Past Master of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners, very 

 kindly offered a scholarship of £25 a year for two years, to be 

 awarded, after the examination of the Boyal Horticultural Society 

 in 1895, to the student who should pass highest, if he were 

 willing to accept the conditions attaching thereto. The main 

 outline of these conditions is that the holder must be between the 

 ages of eighteen and twenty-two years, and that he will study 

 gardening for one year at least at the Royal Horticultural 

 Society's Gardens at Chiswick, conforming to the general rules 

 laid down there for students. In the second year of the scholar- 

 ship he may, if he likes, continue his studies at some other place 

 at home or abroad which shall be approved by the Master of the 

 Worshipful Company of Gardeners and by the Council of the 

 Royal Horticultural Society. 



A similar scholarship was presented by Baron Schroder, 

 V.M.H., after the 1896 examination. 



Another was given after the 1897 examination by N. N. 

 Sherwood, Esq., V.M.H., Master of the Worshipful Company of 

 Gardeners. 



Another similar scholarship has been kindly promised for 

 1898-9 by G. W. Burrows, Esq., a member of the Court of the 

 same Worshipful Company of Gardeners. 



And yet another is promised for 1899-1900 by the Right Hon. 

 the Lord Amherst. 



If the student who is at the head of the examination is for 

 any reason unable or unwilling to accept the scholarship, it is 

 then offered to the next highest on the list, and so on throughout 

 the first class.
