Montreal's New Suburb 



When the \vork planned by the Cana<liaii 

 Northern Railway is comi)leted a model 

 town will have risen behind Mount l{oyal. 

 The company has seciirtKL the services of 

 Mr. Frederick G. To<ld, landscape archi- 

 tect, to prepare plans for a new suburb on 

 a part of the railway property, which em- 

 bodies an area of about five thousand acres. 

 At present not more than three thousand 

 acres will be doveloi>ed in this manner. The 

 balance will be retained for future develop- 

 ments and yards. 



The project is of particular interest to 

 Montreal since it is the first time in Can- 

 ada that a large suburban area has been 

 designed on the thoroughly scientific lines 

 ot modern city planning. In addition it is 

 a most ambitious program, for the site 

 which will be prepared is over twice as 

 large as VVestmount. The southern lines 

 of the "Garden City" will adjoin Uutre- 

 mont. 



When the work is completed the Canadian 

 Northern Railway will enter the Island ot 

 Montreal a little to the west of the C.R.R. 

 entrance. At this point tne use of steam 

 as a motive power tor its engines will end 

 an<l big electric motors of the most modern 

 i,yiJ6 will be provided, the third rail system 

 being auoplea. liie line into the city will 

 run from the Black River to t^he rear ot 

 Mount Royal, then, through a tunnel be- 

 neath the mountain, to its dowutowii ter- 

 minal. A suburban service similar to that 

 of JNew York will be providoa, so that any- 

 one may reach the centre of the city trom 

 the centre of the new suburb in from six 

 to eight minutes. Ihe tiacks will be elevat- 

 ed and stations established at frequent in- 

 tervals. 



Mr. Darling, the Montreal manager of 

 the I/aud Department of the railway, and 

 Mr. Todd have studied the property care- 

 tully. They feel confident that the new 

 suburb will be the model city of Canada, 

 and will prove a financial success for its 

 owners. 



Items of Interest 



Mr. Frederick G. Todd, landscape archi- 

 tect, of Montreal, Canada, has severed his 

 connection with the Canadian Nursery Com- 

 pany, Limited. 



Prof. J. W. Crow, B.S.A., of the Ontario 

 Agricultural College, Guelph, where he has 

 done good work, has accepted a position as 

 superintendent of the Dominion Experi- 

 ment Station instituted last year at Kent- 

 ville, Nova Scotia, by the Dominion Go- 

 vernment, where he will remove at an early 

 date. The new institution is devoted to in- 

 vestigation and demonstration in the prob- 

 lems of fruit culture. The site was pro- 

 cured last year, and some initial work done 

 under direction of tlie Dominion Horticul- 

 tui-ist. Prof. W. T. Maooun, but plans will 

 now be fully matured and pushed under the 

 superintendence of Prof. Crow. 



Prof. Taft of Michigan states that 

 they are having trouble there with Little 

 Peach, which has been unusually prevalent 

 with them this season. He states that it 

 has obtained such a foothold in Michigan 

 that he fears it will be difficult to control 

 it. It is just jjoasible that the season we 

 have experienced has been such as to bring 

 out the worst features of the disease and 

 that an ordinary season will be not quite 

 so bad. This we cannot count on, however, 

 and we must do everything possible in our 

 power to fight it without counting oji the 

 seasons.
