GARDENING FOR WOMEN 257 



from the Women's Agricultural and Horticultural Inter- 

 national Union. 



Although the following is not a school for 

 instruction in horticulture, I should like to mention 

 it, as young ladies are taught floral decoration and 

 other matters, which may prove of great use to 

 them, if they wish to start job gardening or decor- 

 ation for themselves. 



The Women's London Gardening Association, estab- 

 lished in 1891, undertakes floral decorations of all kinds. 

 Cut flowers supplied regularly by contract, and arranged 

 if desired. Wreaths, crosses, sprays, bouquets, baskets, 

 dinner-tables, receptions, ballrooms, platforms, weddings, etc. 

 Table decorations are a speciality. Jobbing gardening work 

 is also done. Contracts are taken to keep in order, and 

 furnish, gardens, conservatories, window-boxes, balconies, 

 roof -gardens, etc., by the year or season. 



Advice is given on the management of country or sub- 

 urban gardens at reasonable fees. Lawns are sown and 

 kept in order, gravel is supplied, soils, fibre, sand, flower- 

 pots, retail. Seeds, bulbs, etc. 



The above is under the management of Mrs. T. Chamber- 

 lain, and all communications should be addressed to her 

 at 107, Pimlico Road, Chelsea, S.W. 



The nursery is in St. Ann's Place, Milman Street, 

 Chelsea, and the old wells in it were once in Sir Thomas 

 More's garden. 



Mrs. Chamberlain takes one or two young ladies from
