These, however, were universal, from the bottom land gardens of Canisy which formerly supplied the markets of Nesle and of St. Quentin, to the kitchen garden of each 102 Ladies of Grecourt cottage. Seed for these the Unit undertook to furnish. A notice was posted in every vil- lage, and in some the town crier rang his bell and proclaimed, that the ladies of Grecourt would come on a certain day to take orders for seeds. The response was enthusiastic; the women crowded, lists in hand, about our a...u- tomobile. And such lists! The French are past masters in classification as well as in in- tensive gardening. There was to be chicory, but it was to be curled; carrots, but short, medium or long, and lettuce, as one of the Unit put it, "for more seasons than we ever knew existed. " Flower seeds were not for- gotten. As for potatoes, a carload was or- dered through government channels. In March, the Unit received its seeds in bulk. Every dish and pan and every member were requisitioned. To sort and do up the pack- ages in grammes was a task like that of sort- ing a roomful of needles such as one reads of in fairy tales.
