Landscape Work 



In developing lawns and estates great care 

 and judgment is required in the locating of 

 walks and drives, the selecting of suitable 

 varieties of trees and shrubs to be planted 

 and the arranging of them artistically. 

 Many homes lose their charm for lack of 

 knowledge and experience in developing the 

 grounds. 



This difficulty is overcome by our Land- 

 scape Department, which is in charge of ex- 

 perienced men qualified to develop grounds 

 of city or country homes, large estates, 

 school and public grounds, parks, cemeter- 

 ies or factory lands. Now is the time to 

 discuss fall or spring work. Correspondence 

 solicited. — Brown Bros. Co., Brown's Nur-

The Dominion Orchard 

 Convpany 



I'ro/. W. S. Blair, Macdonald CoUege, Que. 



About 30 miles from Montreal, on the 

 sunny slopes of Rougemont, the Dominion 

 Orchard Company is developing a property 

 of about 300 acres, devoting the entire area 

 to fruits and vegetables. The company is 

 composed principally of Montrealers who 

 have confidence in the cajjabilities of the 

 province for producing certain fruits and 

 vegetables to supply its own market, and in 

 this they will not be disappointed. 



The slopes of Rougemont, Abbotsford and 

 St. Hilaire have long* been known as ideal 

 spots for the production of all classes of_ 

 fruit of the highest quality, especially ap- 

 ples of the Fameuse type. Capt. R. W. 

 Shepherd, one of the veteran fruit growers 

 and a shipper of high class fruit to a spe- 

 cial English trader, says that fruit from 

 these sections cannot be excelled. 



At the base of Rougemont are various 

 plateaus of different elevations sheltered by 

 mountain ridges. These are made up of soil 

 well watered by streams from a lake situat- 

 ed on the top of the mountain. The soil is 

 ideal in texture, being at fault in some cases 

 only in excessive richness. On the slopes 

 vegetation is rapid, and the intention is to 

 supply early truck crops to the Montreal 

 market in abundance. Some 50 acres of this 

 land is already planted to small fruits, prin- 

 cipally raspberries and strawberries, all of 

 which are making good growth. 



At the foot of the mountain is excellent 

 vegetable land. On this, celery of the finest 

 quality can be developed. It is the inten- 

 tion to grow 10 acres of this crop this year 

 and ultimately to supply the Montreal mar- 

 ket during the winter, doing away with the 

 necessity of the large importations of this 

 crop from California and elsewhere. 



The greenhouses are of King construction 

 and occupy one acre. In these, lettuce, rad- 

 ish, tomatoes, rhubaib and other vegeta- 

 ble crops are grown. They are located in 

 a valley getting full benefit of the sun but 

 well sheltered by surrounding hills. The re- 

 turns from the houses last winter were so 

 satisfactory that additional houses were 

 erected this year and no doubt the present 

 plant will be increased as the business de- 

 velops. 



Large orchards of Fameuse and Mcintosh 

 Red, with cherries and plums in fillers, are 

 being planted and considerable areas are 

 now growing these fruits. 



Knight Bros., of Mission City, B.C., 

 shipped a crate of 12 baskets of strawber- 

 ries to Vancouver, September 13th. These 

 berries sold for $6 for the half crate. This 

 price was paid because the fruit was a 

 curiosity. It cannot be supposed that a 

 quantity would sell sc well. If they did, 

 then fall bearing strawberries might be 

 made profitable. , .
