TREES FOR C.P.R. STATIONS 



All extension of the Floral Depart- 

 ment of the Canadian Paeilic Railway 

 for 1917 includes the planting of trees 

 and shrubs about the stations as well 

 as a great variety of perennial plants. 

 From this time on the gardens are to 

 take permanent form. The Floral 

 Committee is composed of Messrs. 

 F. Curtis, Montreal, B.M. Winegar, 

 Forester, Montreal, and R. D. Prettie, 

 Superintendent of Forestry, Calgary. 



The company has had great success in 

 its scheme of beautifying the grounds 

 about station buildings, prizes being 

 awarded for the best work. Not only 

 has the added attractiveness been 

 appreciated by the travelling public 

 but the resident employees and their 

 families have been benehtted. The 

 development of the plan so as to in- 

 clude trees and shrubs is praise- 

 worthy and ought to bring good re- 

 sults within a year or two under the 

 new committee.
