GREENHOUSES 



Erected Anywhere in Canada 



Our enlarged facilities now enable us to offer the advantages of 

 our thorough workmanship and knowledge, for the building of green- 

 liouses anywhere in Canada. 



This is vitally important to those who formerly had to submit to high 

 American prices or forego the delights of a greenhouse with its flowers 

 and hothouse vegetables at any time in the year. 



To those unacquainted with the superior advantages of our green- 

 houses we will gladly send Booklet B. It is full of suggestions for the 

 man who finds himself deprived of the pleasure of the garden at the 

 passing of Summer. Write for it.

graphic reports are compiled twice weekly 

 at the office ia Ottawa and mailed to every 

 grower in the Dominion. Many fruit dealers 

 resent this action, stating that it is the 

 growers' business to produce the fruit and 

 let the dealers look after the marketing. 

 Mr. Johnson views the matter ditferentiy, 

 and says it is the object of the Departmeui 

 to give the smallest fruit grower in the 

 Dominion as much Information on the fruit 

 situation as the largest dealer or shipper 



British Columbia 



The war in Europe is apt to have a disas- 

 trous effect on one branch of the fruit indus- 

 try in this province next year, judging from 

 the fact that about 80 per cent, of the ex- 

 pert fruit packers in the province have en- 

 listed. The Provincial Grovemment is en- 

 deavoring to d-eal with this sdtuaUon by hold- 

 ing as many packing and pruning schools 

 this winter as possible. 



Recently only about twenty applications 

 for schools had been received by the De- 

 partment. This is not considered to be near- 

 ly enough to meet the demands of the situa- 

 tion, and the fruit growers of the province 

 are being urged to do all they can to en- 

 courage pupils to attend in the expecta- 

 tion that their services -will be urgently re- 

 quired next fall.
