FLOWER GROWING. The business 01 flower growing in I’hot houses is a recognized national industrv with a large amount oi cap- ital inwsted in the production of these it reed beauties, as for exam- ple the growth and magnitude ‘ at- tamed in the production of roses by the late Harry Dale of Brampton, Canada. This business was com- menccd in a modest way in 1883 in a small green house 11x15, and has now grown to 27 large green houses - with a glass area of 225, 000 square; feet. twice as large as any in the Do-‘ minion.
