NATIONAL DIPLOMA IN HORTICULTURE. 
The second Final Examination of Professional Gardeners for the 
National Diploma in Horticulture took place in June 1916. Owing 
to the war the number of candidates was small, seven only offering 
themselves, viz. four in Section I. (General Horticulture), of whom 
two passed ; one in Section II. (Hardy Fruit-growing for market) ^ 
who passed ; one each in Section V. (Landscape Gardening) and 
Section VII. (Horticultural Inspection), who both failed to satisfy 
the Examiners ; and one in Section VIII. (Horticultural Instruction) 
who passed. 
The third Preliminary Examination was also held in June, fifteen 
candidates presenting themselves, of whom nine passed.
