CHAPTER XIV 



COLLEGES AND SCHOOLS FOR LADY GARDENERS IN 

 GREAT BRITAIN 



The following syllabuses of British colleges and 

 schools are submitted for the use of ladies inter- 

 ested in gardening. It is hoped that they may 

 assist all those who, in England or abroad, have 

 the management of such training centres. By 

 means of them it will be easy to compare notes 

 as to the various methods of imparting practical 

 information ; the form in which foreign sylla- 

 buses are staged may inspire fresh ideas. I should 

 like to add that I do not, of course, consider what 

 I am able to give of these particulars as in any 

 way comprehensive ; but it has been my endeavour 

 to insert only details of colleges and schools that 

 have been in existence some time. I have re- 

 ceived the syllabuses and many interesting notes 

 through the kindness of those who have at heart 

 the wish that ladies should succeed in the profession 

 of horticulture.
