horticulture
We're talking the area of botanical gardens and horticultural collection housing a collection of specimen types. Here is the explanation from the text.
On nommait école, en horticulture, une collection qui réunissait dans un même lieu les différents spécimens des espèces et variétés cultivées dans l’ensemble de l’exploitation. Ceci permettait de les conserver avec certitude, de les étudier et de les comparer ; les sujets de ces écoles, arbustes ou arbres fruitiers par exemple, servaient aussi de pieds mères pour la production de boutures, de greffons et de graines.
Many thanks!

arboretum
I am guessing arboretum from what I can read of the context; something happened with all of the letters with accents to make much of it illegible, including the target term; try resubmitting without the accents, cedilles, etc.

Now that I know that ecole was the target word, let me amend my answer somewhat to aarboretum foundation, which is a support organization for such a collections which performs the functions listed in this text. I worked in one as a summer job while I was in college. See this reference:
http://www.volunteersolutions.org/uwkc/org/220608.html
The one I worked at was the Henry Foundation in Gladwyne, PA and they have a small website:
