NEW SOUTH WALES

“We are a young community and also a small one, otherwise we should have had at least a small college for lady gardeners ere now,” is the answer that comes to my inquiry on the subject. I am told, however, that there is fine scope for such a thing, and that the women of New South Wales are quite ready for it. Up to now they have chiefly confined themselves to bettering the conditions of labour in those departments voluntarily sought by women, rather than to forming new schemes.
