The plan was to offer a definite course to train persons 
to conduct School Gardens (thirty three-hour periods in 
six weeks), and to give a certificate upon a satisfactory 
completion; which was done successively: 
April 2 to May I1, 1917, with eight students 
May 14 to June 22, 1917, with seven students 
July 9 to August 17, 1917, with three students 
Also to give instruction in Home Gardening at hours, 
and in ways, that would meet the needs of earnest students 
of limited spare time; and this was done, as follows: 
A course of five weekly one-hour lectures in April to fourteen 
students 
A course of five weekly one-hour lectures in May to fifteen 
students 
A course of six weekly three-hour periods of garden practice in 
September and October to five students 
A course of six weekly three-hour periods of greenhouse practice in 
November and December to seven students 
A Small Home Vegetable Garden, twenty by fifty feet, 
was maintained for instruction and observation of students 
and visitors (See Garden Journal for August, 1917). 
Lectures were delivered on the Home Vegetable Garden 
before Garden Clubs in New Rochelle and Staten Island, 
N. Y., and in Princeton, N. J 
The work of all students showed great earnestness and 
interest, and the average attendance was high.
