BRAMPTON, ONT. 



The Market. 



August has held its own, and up to 

 the present there are no signs of any 

 bad results accruing from the unfor- 

 tunate conditions obtaining in most 

 parts of the northern hemisphere. By 

 the middle of September we shall be 

 better able to judge what this awful 

 upset is going to do for Canada; in the 

 meantime everybody is sitting tight and 

 holding on. Several of the men for- 

 merly employed at the Dale Estate have 

 gone into camp at Quebec, and some 

 of them by this time are already on 

 their way to the war zone. 



Bulbous stock has not yet arrived, 

 but as it is on the way, it is confidently 

 hoped that the shipment will come safe- 

 ly through. The bulb house started 

 last fall is now in complete readiness 

 for the bulbs, which will receive better 

 treatment than has been possible in any 

 previous season. 



The asters grown this season have 

 been superior stock, but unfortunately 

 sweet peas, over which a great deal of 

 time and trouble had been taken, suf- 

 fered from disease and proved a heavy 

 failure. The 214-acre range of violet 

 houses were planted last week and the 

 stock of 100,000 plants goes into winter 

 quarters in the best condition. 



Carnations should be blooming freely 

 in another three weeks, and the outdoor 

 plants are meeting a ready market 

 throughout the Dominion, on account of 

 their healthy qualities. 



Boses are coming in a little earlier 

 this season, and it seems a long time 

 since such excellent flowers have been 

 placed on the market. The stems are 

 long and strong, and the blooms are 

 perfect in every way. All the new 

 varieties are showing pleasing results, 

 and the only cause for regret is that 

 they have not been planted in sufficient 

 quantities to meet the demand.
