GARDENING FOR WOMEN 11 



should be made to other gardens. Then it will 

 be possible to learn the names and habits of new 

 plants, and, by studying a different treatment of 

 them, the powers of observation will be increased. 



After college training an effort should be made 

 to get a subordinate paid post, for whatever branch 

 of Horticulture it is decided to specialise in. No 

 attempt should be made to superintend a large 

 garden until, as they say of children, the student 

 has learned " to feel her feet." 



I propose to give a short account of the different 

 branches available from which a selection can 

 be made. It will be convenient to divide them 

 into two classes : — 



A. Which require training and education 



only 



I. — Landscape Gardening. 



II. — Jobbing Gardening. 



III. — Head gardener in a private 

 garden. 



B. Which requires capital as well as train- 



ing and education : — 

 Market Gardening.
