"Every encouragement should be given to the movement on foot for the purpose of cresting a National Union of Allotment Holden. Those little cultivators did splendidly last year and, on what appears to be good data, it is estimated that they came in to the extent of nearly three-quarters of a million persons. Although it is not possible to estimate the addition this meant to the food supply of the country, it must be extraordinary.
"England is a land of good gardeners, and the skill, industry and ingenuity with which the most unpromising plots were attacked augurs well for the possibilities attending an extension of the movement. Those who have watched serious elderly men and laughing school children working with equal ardour at the unpromising allotment will not only be highly pleased with the results, but filled with confidence that soil of any kind can be attacked with the certainty of making it contribute to the food supply of the country." - Country Life.
