ANNOUNCEMENT 



E ARE PLEASED to announce to readers of The 

 Canadian Horticulturist the incorporation of a 

 Canadian greenhouse construction firm, under 

 an Ontario charter called The Glass Garden 

 Builders Ltd., and financed entirely by Cana- 

 dian capital.. All the executive oiTicers of the 

 Company are men of repute in business and financial circles. 

 The President is W. J. Keens, a prominent business man of 

 Toronto; the Vice-President, Dr. J. M. Baldwin, at one time 

 Vice-President of the Toronto Horticultural Society; the Sec- 

 retary-Treasurer, C. M. Baldwin, for some years an officer of 

 the Imperial Bank of Canada, and later connected with Real 

 Estate Companies of Toronto. 



The Company is most fortunate in having the services of 

 Isaac Cassidy, formerly Secretary of the Lord & Burnham Co., 

 Limited, of Canada, who has been in the greenhouse building 

 business for about twenty years. He will devote his entire 

 time to the activities of the Company. 



R. Derbyshire, formerly Canadian Manager of The Parkes 

 Construction Company, has also consented to give his entire 

 services to the Company. He has been in the business for the 

 past ten years and is well acquainted with the Canadian trade. 



The policy of the Company is to build all types of commer- 

 cial and private greenhouses, including all kinds of equipment. 

 As an evidence of progressiveness on the part of the new 

 firm two new houses are already under way for J. H. Dunlop of 

 Richmond Hill. One of these, 61 by 40Q feet, is being built of 

 the flat rafter full iron frame type. The other is a pipe frame 

 house, 24 by 236 feet. Several private houses are also being 

 erected in the City of Toronto. 



We would be pleased to submit plans and estimates on any 

 work in this line. We know that our figures will interest you 

 as all parts are manufactured in Canada.
