lluMii. Il(‘r(' again is llie advantage of college training 
ov('r ai)j)i'(M)lic('sliip as i)racticed in j)ast years. 
Jkit must be a certain ainoimt of apprenticeship 
—of piaclical training—to prei)are a young man to be¬ 
come a really tborougli gardener, for be must know the 
bow's of gardening as ^\ ell as the why’s, so the National 
Association of Oardeners, in co-oi)eration with the Mas¬ 
sachusetts Agricultural College has established a course 
in gardening, combining the Euro})ean system of practi¬ 
cal experience in tlie art of gardening with the American 
system of scicuititic and theoretical training. The Massa¬ 
chusetts Agricultural College conducts the theoretical in¬ 
struction, while the Natioiial Association of Gardeners 
assumes I he responsibility of directing the practical 
training. During the ])eriod of ])ractical training which 
the students receive on private estates throughout the 
country, they are allowed their hoard and a certain wage. 
The course will lit young men to advance in the pro¬ 
fession of gardening as superintendents and gardeners 
of country estates, public parks, or cemeteries, as gard¬ 
eners and florists of commercial establishments, or as 
(‘ommercial florists and nurserymen, operating their own 
enterprises. 
Young meji interested in taking up such a course in 
gardening will he given full information, if they will 
write to the National Association of Gardeners, whose 
headquarters are at 286 Fifth avenue. New York City.
