120 GAEDENING FOR WOMEN 



by the Hon. Frances Wolseley. The number of students 

 is limited, and great care is taken as to their selection. 

 A personal interview and the highest references are required 

 before admission; The following arrangements for the 

 course of work are a development upon specialised hues 

 of the scheme which has up to now existed. The chief 

 objects of the course are : — 



To give a thorough foundation in the management 

 of all the more hardy garden plants 



To improve taste in the laying out and arrangement 

 of gardens. To teach the daily routine work of a private 

 garden, so essential to those who, later, wish to become 

 private head gardeners. 



To give students responsibihty and thus enable them 

 more easily to be competent to undertake posts when their 

 course of training is completed. 



A competent, practical superintendent gives instruction 

 in flower, fruit and vegetable growing. In addition to 

 this well-known advisory experts visit the school from 

 time to time and give lectures upon the theory and special 

 branches of horticulture. H. Edmonds, Esq., B.Sc, of 

 the Municipal School at Brighton, lectures upon Botany 

 and the Chemistry of the Soil. 



Mr. Back gives demonstrations upon fruit culture. 

 Mr. Paris lectures upon Bee-keeping. Mr. Edmund D. 

 Foster, Head of the Engineering Department of the Brighton 

 Technical College, has undertaken to lecture upon Land 

 Surveying. 



A special feature of the garden is the arrangement of 

 Italian Oil Jars and Lemon Pots.
