SCHOLARSHIPS. 
Sir Trevor Lawrence, Bart., president of the society, 
and Master of the Worshipful Company of Gar¬ 
deners, very kindly offered a scholarship of £25 a 
year for two years, to be awarded after the examina¬ 
tion of the Royal Horticultural Society in 1894 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 of the male sex, and between the 
ages of 18 and 22 years, and that he will study gar¬ 
dening for one year at least at the Royal Horticul¬ 
tural Society's Gardens at Chiswick, conforming to 
the general rules laid down there for students. In 
the second year of the scholarship 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 1895 examination. 
The Worshipful Company of Gardeners continued 
this scholarship to the end of 189C. 
Another similar scholarship was given after the 
1897 examination by N. N. Sherwood, Esq.. V.M.H., 
Master of the Worshipful Company of Gardeners. 
Another was given for 1898-9 by G. W. Burrows, 
Esq., a member of the Court of the same Worship¬ 
ful Company of Gardeners. 
Another was given for 1899-1900 by the Right 
Hon. the Lord Amherst, who presents it also through 
the Gardeners’ Company. 
And another is promised for 1901 by Henry Wood, 
Esq., which will be continued in 1902 by F. G. Ivey, 
Esq., both gentlemen being members of the Court of 
the Worshipful Company.

were well filled, and the quality of the exhibits was 
good. 
SCOTTISH HORTICULTURAL.—10 th. 
On Tuesday, July 10th, the Scottish Horticultural 
Association held their fourth annual summer display 
of Roses, Strawberries, and herbaceous cut flowers 
in the compact, pretty, and well lighted hall of the 
Freemasons in George Street, the show being as a 
whole very attractive, and decidedly the best the 
society has yet had. There is ample evidence of 
the backwardness of the season in the display of 
Roses, which were very meagre indeed. 
Some very fine baskets of Strawberries were 
shown, the samples sent in by Mr. Scougall, Esk- 
bank, being surpassingly good, Laxton’s Leader and 
Royal Sovereign being the varieties he tabled. Mr. 
D. Kidd, Carberry Tower, Musselburgh, sent in a 
splendid sample of Vicomtesse Hericart de Thury, 
and Mr. McKenzie, Trinity Grove, also tabled a fine 
dish of Royal Sovereign. 
Messrs. Laing & Mather, Kelso, did themselves 
great credit by the neat but splendid show of Carna¬ 
tion blooms. Yule Tide is a very fine dark crimson ; 
Duchesse Consuelo, a fine large pale yellow ; and 
Lady Nina Balfour, a very sweet, neat bloom of 
creamy-pinkish colour. They also had some good 
vases of Malmaisons. 
Mr. M. Cuthbertson, Rothesay, exhibited some 
fine stands of Sweet Peas, prominent among those 
staged being Firefly, a deep red; Princess Beatrice, 
splendid pink; Princess May, a fine lavender 
colour ; Countess of Powis, a pretty salmon-pink. 
Mr. Cuthbertson’s arrangement of his blooms was 
most successful, being placed in a tier of four 
tubes, thus securing freedom of display, and also 
assured their being in water. 
Messrs. Kelway & Son, Langport, Somerset, 
showed a nice table of Delphiniums, Gaillardias, and 
Irises. 
Messrs. R. B. Laird & Sons, Ltd., filled up the 
whole breadth of the hall with a fine table of stove 
plants and Palms. 
On the west side of the hall Messrs. Dobbie & 
Co., Rothesay, set up a fine show of cut blooms of 
Pelargoniums flanked on either side by Sweet Peas. 
Among the Pelargoniums may be noted Emperor of 
Russia, very dark, edged white ; Scarlet Gem, very 
pretty; Mrs. Harrison, a very rich crimson and 
white; Atalanta, a fine mauve coloured bloom ; but 
we need not enumerate all that were good. 
Messrs. Cunningham & Fraser, Comely Bank, 
Edinburgh, had a splendid stand of herbaceous and 
alpine plants in bloom. On their table was noted 
some fine Irises, Gaillardias, Paeonies, &c. Mention 
may be made of Helonias extus, very scarce, Poten- 
tilla William Rollison, P. Vaise d’Or, Scabiosa 
caucasica, and also some specially good Campanulas. 
Messrs. James Cocker & Sons, Aberdeen, had a 
fine table set up prominently, their display of Iris 
being really very fine, a special note amongst them 
being Admiral, Masterpiece, Ellen Terry, Orpheus,
