First year, £20; second year, £15; third year, £10. Floral decoration is £1. 1s. per annum.
A year’s course in gardening is given to ladies who possess gardens in the country. Early application should be made to the superintendent, Mrs. J. Bryant Sowerby, Botanic Gardens, Regent’s Park.
Amongst the rules I see that pupils must attend at the gardens at 9.30 a.m. in summer, and 10 a.m. in winter, and are allowed an interval of one hour and a half (12.30 to 2) in the middle of the day.
Six students having passed out of the Royal Botanic Gardens are working their own gardens. Two have started as market gardeners. Several are working as jobbing gardeners and companion gardeners.

The objects of this school are to prepare women for the various branches of practical professional gardening—to fit them for managing a market garden, or for taking charge of private gardens—and to give instruction to those who wish to devote themselves with intelligence to gardening as a private interest.
