GAEDENING FOR WOMEN 255 



Miss A. Ceoss, Cleveland, Bere Alston, Devon, writes 

 that, Laving been trained at Studley College, she has 

 lately started a nursery garden. At present the garden 

 is only three-quarters of an acre in extent, but it is pro- 

 posed to add to it each year. It will be eventually a 

 fruit and asparagus market garden, supplemented by poultry 

 and milking goats. 



Miss Birtell and her sisters have a violet farm at 

 the Cottage, Shripney, near Bognor. They do all the 

 work in connection with the violets themselves, and also 

 make the frames and glaze and paint the lights. A labour- 

 ing man does the rough digging. Miss Birtell has two 

 acres of land and about half of it is devoted only to the 

 violets;
