CONCERNING WOMEN GARDENERS AND FARMERS 
To Owners of Estates , Nurserymen, Landscape 
Architects and Farmers 
An increased interest by women, in all types of agricul¬ 
tural work, has led to the establishment of courses for 
women in gardening, landscape architecture, horticul¬ 
ture, floriculture, and other branches in the vocational 
schools and colleges throughout the country. Women of 
ability and education are entering these courses, and, 
equipped with the technical training, are now looking 
for practical opportunities in the work. Being a com¬ 
paratively new line of activity for women they are ex¬ 
periencing some of the difficulties of all pioneers and are 
having to overcome prejudices in securing their first op¬ 
portunities of demonstrating their ability. This letter 
is an appeal to individuals and firms employing land¬ 
scape architects, gardeners and agricultural assistants,

Indications are that labor will be scarce and high this 
spring; many nurseries in the East will have difficulty 
in getting enough men of the grade they want, to see 
them through the spring rush.
