THE UNDER GARDENERS.

These men are entirely under the controul and direction of the _head

gardener_, and are employed by him, for the most part, in digging and

trenching, wheeling, dunging, gravelling, hoeing, mowing, and other

laborious work.

They are engaged as weekly servants, and are paid according to their

abilities, from 16 to 20 or 21 shillings per week, and vegetables. Some

_under gardeners_ have a cottage assigned for themselves and families,

and others have also fuel allowed them for their fires.
