Women HorticulturIsts.

Women are working SUCCESSFULLY in.
almost every field. Vick's Magazine
states that according to the census Of
1890 there were 312 commercial green
houses, or about one in fifteen, owned
and managed by women. We have a,
personal acquaintance with several!
women who are successful retail flor
lists. Other women, to our knowledge,
are making success of raising car
nations and other flowers for ona.
wholesale trade. These people soon
learn that the business of raising and.
selling flowers is beset by much care,
and labor that do not come under, tfte,
head of poetry. And yet nearly all
women florists that we have met were,
led into the business because they first
of all loved flowers. It adds to- the, de-
light and success of any occupation if
one has love therefor. Theme, is no
question that, as rule, women have q
greater fondness than men for flowers.
Why, therefore, should they not en-
gage in growing and handling; them for
profit? The rougher work about flower
raising, such as the care Of greenhouse
furnaces, the handling Of soil and ma
nure and the like, can easily be dome
by men who work for moderate wages.
If women are successful as florists they
are equally SO as raisers OF vegetables
and smaller fruits, especially strawber-
ries; they direct the rougher work, help
to prepare the produce for customers,
and perhaps take in hand the selling.
thus keeping closely in touch with the
state of the market. Generally speak
ing, we think that the raising of straw
berries near our best markets is further
from being overdone than that Of al
most any other kind Of produce. The
consumption is enormous and fresh
fruit brought quickly from the fields.
without a large distance Intervening.
always will sell considerably higher
than fruit long from the vines that has
been shipped. Much of the work Of
picking and handling small fruits ia
suited to be done by women.
