"If I could influence the fair sex,  there is one thing to which I would
draw their attention;   and that is Horticulture . . . I would recommend
them, as far as convenient, to become Florists, as this delightful and
healthy employment  . . . would entice them into the open air,  stimulate
them to exertion and draw them away from their sedentary modes of life,
mewed up in close rooms,  where they are confined like nuns."
