have fallen from 12 to 5. Comparing the percentages they 

 stand as follows : — 



1897 (184). 1898 (190). 



First class .... 48-3 . 45*7 



Second class . . . 29'8 . 32-6 



Third class . . . 15-2 . 19-0 

 Not classed ... 6-5 2-6 



The answers were, on the whole, very satisfactorily given ; 

 and the general standard of those dealing with the Elementary 

 Principles of Vegetable Physiology were somewhat better than 

 was the case in 1897. 



There is also a general improvement in the answers to 

 questions referring to Practical Horticulture. Most of the 

 students have a good general idea of the work, although a limited 

 number only went fully into the minor details of it ; but some 

 of these details are essential to a full measure of success, and 

 as far as possible they should be included in the answers.
