Abstract
A COURSE in horticulture is by no means easy to devise but it is certain that so far as the craft of the horticulturist is concerned the best place to learn it is in the garden, the potting-shed, and the frame-yard: these must constitute the laboratory. Hand-in-hand with training there should go work in botany, especially in vegetable physiology, in elementary chemistry, and physics, with the double object of inculcating scientific method (which should not be ignored in the garden) and of education in a knowledge of how plants grow.
