As they are all grown on the nursery the availability of some of these is limited and orders are taken on a first come first served basis, and if we have to cancel any orders (should COLLECTOR’S SNOWDROPS the stocks we thought that we had not live up to expectations, this is gardening not engineering) any cancellations start with the last orders to be received. It is however unusual for us to have to cancel orders. Numbers in brackets after the price refer to the page number for a more detailed description in the snowdrop bible. We believe these to be flowering sized bulbs and in many cases there is a big bulb and an offset all counted as one. Whilst these are pot grown, to save on the postage costs, the plants are ‘knocked out’ of pots and sent in plastic bags, but this is much kinder on the roots than being dug.

Various methods in tissue culture and molecular breeding have been applied to the production of commercially important lily species and cultivars. However, scientific research data of such species and varieties that have potential in the northern climate is scarce. In this work, different biotechnological methods were developed and used in the production and culture of a diversity of lily species belonging to different taxonomic groups. The aim was to test and develop further the existing methods in plant biotechnology for the developmental work and the production of novel hardy lily cultivars for northern climates.

    1911 CENSUS for HAMBRIDGE/WESTPORT VILLAGES

    1911 CENSUS for HAMBRIDGE/WESTPORT VILLAGES: Langport Dist 307-2 Enum Dist 8 The Enumerator began his walk through the village at Underhill and visited 132 houses (schedules), Few houses had postal names like today. WESTPORT starts at Schedule 68 on p6. The total population was 537 (243 Males, 294 Females), of whom 224 were under the age of 20 (42%). The school down by the church had 97 pupils. The Male Workforce was 178, of whom 83 were employed on the 9 farms - 50 labourers, 13 horsemen, 5 cowmen, 2 shepherds etc). Hambridge Mills and Brewery (now Chalon Furniture) was in Curry Rivel parish but employed 5 millers/maltsters; 5 carters and 7 other men from Hambridge. There were also 9 carpenters, 3 blacksmiths, 10 gardeners, 4 withy growers and 6 basketmakers. There were 3 pubs, a Post Office, Grocer & Draper, and Fruit Dealer. The Female Workforce was 85 – 43 were shirt machinists and 12 others were buttonholers or collarmakers linked with the shirt factory in Westport. 15 women were in domestic service, 4 were dressmakers, 7 were schoolteachers plus a District Nurse etc. Old Age Pensions of 5/- a week had been introduced by Lloyd George’s Govt in Jan 1909. You had to be 70 years of age to qualify and it was means tested. There were 16 recipients in this census. The number of people actually born in the two villages was 270 out of 537 (50%). Two new features of the 1911 census were: a record of the number of years of marriage of adults (allowing us to identify their wedding year); a record of child mortality (surviving/deceased numbers).
