larger and older house, Canadian 

 Queen is growing in solid beds in a 

 long, narrow house intended for young 

 roses. It has made vigorous growth of 

 a bushy character. The flowers could 

 not be judged beyond the fact that the 

 color appears t& 9 ^ shade lighter than 

 Bridesmaid. Eradrey in the larger hojise 

 is growing freely. The young plants 

 were carefully grown up to S-ijBch pots 

 before being planted. They have now 

 made a good start, the bottom breaks 

 forming heavy plants evenly. 



The remainder of the place appeared 

 unchanged. The variety of special in- 

 terest is Richmond, which keeps its 

 place through the success of the Christ- 

 mas crop. This requires skill of a high 

 order, as the least slip will prove fatal 

 where an entire crop of roses is re- 

 quired at a given time. 



The manure shed, built a year ago, 

 is a great acquisition. It is connected 

 hy pipes with the company's dairy and 

 is fitted with wire screens for adding as 

 much sifted manure as desired, free 

 from shavings. "When of the proper 

 strength the liquid is pumped through 

 the pipes to the greenhouses.

 expects to duplicate his clever stroke 

 of last Easter, when valley that had 

 been so scarce was made plentiful.
