Model Victory Garden 
In April a Model Victory Garden of nearly 2,500 square feet, 
including both vegetables and flowers, was installed in the southern 
part of the Children’s Garden plot, near the Richard Young Gate. 
This is described in detail in the appended report of the horticul- 
turist, Mr. Free (p. 110), who planned and installed it. The 
vegetable plot was surrounded by a border of ornamentals planned 
and supervised by Miss Dorward. This garden was intended to

2:30 to 4:30 p.m., and Wednesdays from 6 to 7:30 p.m., to 
answer questions asked by the public and give general advice 
— 
concerning the raising of vegetables and ornamentals,

not only a Laboratory Building, with large conservatories of glass, 
but also extensive grounds. 
“Plans were made for the building in the case of an air raid. 
The members of the staff and attending classes are instructed to 
proceed to the corridor on the street floor, as the most sheltered 
place in the building in case of bombing. 
“Members of staff have been assigned to particular duties at spe- 
cific locations. Groups have been assigned at each end of the main
