There are fine greenhouses and hot | frames, and under the direction of Mr. Fred Nichols the men are making fine | progress. Florists are turning out such blooms as are not often seen out- side the southern countries. With Canada's ever increasing pros- perity, the number of city people who demand summer vegetables in the winter season multiplies, and the fu- ture for gardeners with hot frames and the proper equipment to cater to \these tastes grows more golden. With this in mind, many of the returned men are planning to establish gardens just outside the large cities with the | intention of supplying the markets in | the summer, and the high class gro- | cers in the cold season with green | salad materials and out of date deli- | eacies which will bring fancy prices.
