1p., 8vo. Printed in blue on shiny art paper. In good condition, slightly-aged. Headed: 'Greenway Court, Hollingbourne, Kent', followed by a 7 x 10 cm photograph of the 'Dining Room, Greenway Court'. The text begins 'Miss Edith Bradley and Miss Baillie-Hamilton receive a few Resident Students at Greenway Court, to train for practical work in Dairy and Fruit Farming, Market Gardening and Bee Keeping.' Details of the 'complete course' are given, and of the fees. 'The Farm consists of Fifty Acres of Orchards, Pasture and Arable. Practical and Theoretical Instruction is given by fully qualified Teachers.' With photograph of 'Dining Room, Greenway Court.' An article in The Times of 16 April 1913, titled 'Farming for Women', gives the background to the item: 'At the Mercia Dairy and Poultry Farm, Greenway Court, Hollingbourne, near the Weald of Kent, a large company assembled yesterday to celebrate the opening of a new wing and other alterations and improvements. These have become necessary owing to the increasing number of women students wishing to be trained in outdoor life. Among those invited by Miss Edith Bradley and Miss Baillie-Hamilton were Lady Harriet Lindsay, Lady Balfour of Burleigh, Sir Reginald Macleod, Mrs. Walter, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Fromlin, Major and Mrs. Buckingham, and Miss Coots, the dairy famer of Brattles Grange. The guests were particularly interested in the pedigree Jerseys, the numerous breeds of all-white poultry to be seen in the greengage orchards or in the breeding pens, the French garden tended by the French foreman, the fruit plantation and wall trees, the greenhouses, and the jam factory, as well as the stables and bees. The farm was started five years ago with only 25 acres and accommodation for six students; now there are over 40 acres and accommodation for 10 students and a resident staff of teachers.' Bradley closed Greenway Court in 1924, in order to devote her energies to trying to stand for parliament as a Conservative candidate.
