Scholar  ships. 
Sir  Trevor  Lawrence,  Bart.,  President  of  the  Society,  and  Master  of 
the  Worshipful  Company  of  Gardeners,  very  kindly  offered  a  scholarship 
of  £25  a  year  for  two  years,  to  be  awarded  after  the  examination  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  eighteen  and  twenty-two  years,  and 
that  he  will  study  gardening  for  one  year  at  least  at  the  Royal 
Horticultural  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  1896.  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  Worshipful  Company  of  Gardeners.  Another 
was  given  for  1899-1900  by  the  Right  Hon.  the  Lord  Amherst,  who 
presents  it  also  through  the  Gardeners’  Company.  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.

If  the  student  who  is  at  the  head  of  the  examination  is  for  any 
reason  unable  or  unwilling  to  accept  the  scholarship,  it  is  then  offered 
to  the  next  highest  on  the  list,  and  so  on  throughout  the  first  class. 
And  in  case  of  two  or  more  eligible  students  being  adjudged  equal 
marks,  the  Council  reserve  to  themselves  the  right  to  decide  which  of 
them  shall  be  presented  to  the  scholarship. 
To  Help  the  Gardeners’  Royal  Benevolent  Institution. — 
Through  the  kindness  of  Sir  Henry  Miles  the  gardens  at  Leigh  Court 
were  recently  opened  for  one  day  to  the  public  for  the  benefit  cf  the 
local  branch  of  the  Gardeners’  Royal  Benevolent  Institution.  Unfortu¬ 
nately  the  otherwise  welcome  showers  of  the  afternoon  interfered  with 
the  attendance  somewhat,  but,  considering  the  weather,  a  goodly 
number  were  present,  the  brakes  which  ran  from  Clifton  at  intervals 
of  a  quarter  of  an  hour  being  well  patronised.  On  arrival  at  Leigh 
Court  the  great  attraction  was,  of  course,  the  magnificent  Rhodo¬ 
dendrons.  The  grounds  generally  were  looking  very  nice,  and  the 
specimen  and  ornamental  Firs  and  Cedars,  just  now  throwing  out  their 
young  spring  growths,  were  much  admired.  The  vineries  and  Peaoh 
houses  showed  some  very  promising  crops,  and  great  pleasure  was  found 
by  the  visitors  in  wandering  about  the  pleasure  grounds,  with  their 
ornamental  ponds  covered  with  Water  Lilies,  now  in  full  bloom.  The 
place  is  also  noted  for  its  walls — so  necessary  for  choice  wall  fruit — 
now  well  set  with  Apricots,  Peaches,  and  Cherries.  The  evening  turned 
out  fine,  and  the  drive  back  pleasant,  but  the  exchequer  of  the  institution 
had  not  benefited  to  the  extent  that  could  have  been  desired,  and 
probably  would  have  done  had  better  weather  favoured  the  occasion.
