ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

NotesCorn or ‘Indian maize’ was one of the most successful crops on the small holdings of the f irst settlers. The Kissing Point farms were an important source of produce to Sydney through the early years of the 19th Century. Chinese market gardeners were known in Ryde as early as the 1880s with up to 20 operating in 1891. Each had about 2ha of land and commonly employed 4 to 5 men who worked as a cooperative and lived on site usually in poor conditions. By 1929, 58% of Ryde’s market gardeners were Chinese, 7% were Italian and the rest were of other European backgrounds.
