THURSDAY,  JUNE  12,  1902. 
Overtime. 
ORKIXCt  overtime  among  gar¬ 
deners  has  the  stamp  of  age  to 
pass  it  along  with  credit  from 
one  generation  to  another.  It 
is,  perhaps,  not  so  commonly 
practised  in  the  present  day  as 
formerly,  when  a  gardener,  young 
or  old,  who  abode  as  strictly  by  his 
hours  of  labour  as  his  master  did  to 
the  wages  he  oiTered  must  have  been  some¬ 
what  of  an  horticultural  curiosity.  The  reason 
for  working  overtime  in  gardens  is  to  be 
found  solely  within  the  ranks  of  the  gardening 
community  itself.  There  appears  to  be  an 
innate  something  abiding  in  the  breast  of 
every  gardener  that  never  fails  to  urge  him 
to  either  keep  up  to  the  mark  or  to  excel 
either  himself  in  the  past  or  others.  It  is  an 
excellence  that  has  placed  the  gardener  in 
the  abstract  on  a  higher  footing  than  most 
people  of  an  equal  standing  socially.  He 
carries  himself  as  one  that  has  not  only  done 
his  duty  to  his  employers,  but  who  has  done 
even  more  than  mere  duty  demanded,  because 
he  was  so  anxious  to  give  of  his  very  best. 
The  young  gardener  has  been  brought  up 
in  the  same  school.  While  serving  in  a 
garden,  that  to  him  is  the  objective  of  his 
best  endeavour ;  and  he  also  thinks  less  of 
sparing  himself  than  of  having  “  things 
right.”  You  may  shorten  the  working  hours, 
but  once  the  passion  for  working  overtime 
overtakes  one,  they  are  not  once  thought  of  ; 
and  so  we  have  the  strange  anomaly  of  a  man 
desirous  of  a  shortened  day,  who,  at  the  same 
time,  makes  no  objection  to  extend  his  hours 
of  labour  indefinitely.  When  a  journeyman 
I  have  on  many  occasions,  and  without  any 
sense  of  having  done  more  than  was  neces¬ 
sary,  worked  from  4  a.m.  till  9  p.m.  As  a 
fact,  it  was  more  than  was  at  all  necessary, 
and  experience  has  since  for  ced  me  to  conclude
