8. ROCK GARDEN AT WISLEY. 



In response to the interest taken in what are popularly called 

 " Alpines," or " Rock Plants," the Council have constructed a Rock 

 Garden at Wisley on a somewhat extensive scale. The idea is to obtain 

 the best possible positions and soils for the different plants to grow in, 

 the growth and well-being of the plants being considered to be 

 of greater importance than the artistic effect of the rockwork. 

 In a Horticultural Society's Garden every single detail should 

 teach something, so that Fellows visiting it may be able to take 

 away an idea of how best to do this or that, or where best to plant 

 this or that. 



9. STUDENTS AT WISLEY. 



The Society admits young men, between the ages of sixteen and 

 twenty-two years, to study Gardening at Wisley. The curriculum 

 includes not only practical garden work in all the main branches of 

 Gardening, but also Lectures, Demonstrations, and Horticultural 

 Science in the Laboratory, whereby a practical knowledge of Garden 

 Chemistry, Biology, &c, may be obtained.
