FARM AND GARDEN.
Gardening for W oman.

L Is an art and an eXefclSe-an art
wherein we dull Saxons have Thoroughly
proved orr power to excel, and an ezer-
else which brinrs every muscle into play
in the blessed fresh air. 1t nay be SO
cheaply pursued that even the poorest
cottager or even town garrett GERS may en-
Joy it and it may be costly and splendid
enough to crafty the taste ct queens;
The natural affinity between women and
flowers Is 50 strong, so lew women OF
any rank are devoid of it, and much OF
gardening and conservatory Work can oe
well done by women, that 1t is quite a
cnrians instance of the way in which
pleasant and lucrative trades are monop-
oIized by men, that there are no such
things as garden girls and female head
gardeners. and women managing nurse
ries and nlarket-gardens. Many hun
dreds of English ladies' work FROM choice
half their days IN their own gardens. and
being their own head gardeners, ENJOY
every flower that btooIcs ten fold more
than if they had the honor OF meekly
smelling Il under the rule OF Scotch al-
tocraf. But no woman OF the humber
class that ever we heard Of was allowed
to Gain her bread b. doing precisely
what those Indies do from choice ; though
how many would rejoice to quit dreary
school-rooms and Work-roOms to under
take the same, Heaven alone can tell.
