The papers this week have it that 

 W. J. Lawrence, of Eglinton, is ar- 

 ranging with the authorities at Rich- 

 mond Hill for the passage of a by-law 

 so that the village may loan him $10,- 

 000 wherewith to erect greenhouses in 

 the neighborhood, the said sum to be 

 paid back without interest in ten 

 yearly installments of $1,000 each. Mr. 

 Lawrence suffered a heavy loss about 

 seven weeks ago through the wrecking 

 of his 800-foot house by a severe storm. 



John H. Dunlop, of Toronto, is also 

 transferring his business interests to 

 Richmond Hill, having purchased thirty 

 acres of the Hawkins estate, adjoining 

 the Canadian Northern railway yards, 

 for $15,000. 



Greenhouse building is being con- 

 ducted on a lively scale this spring. 

 The Dale Estate has already begun the 

 foundations and power plant for six 

 new houses, each 600 feet long, on 

 property recently purchased from the 

 Lowe estate. Violets will be grown 

 exclusively in this section, provided the 

 labor supply does not fail. Nearly 250 

 men are at present employed by this 

 firm, and wages are higher than at any 

 previous time in the firm's history. 

 Business is remarkably good, and huge 

 cuts of roses and carnations are of 

 daily occurrence. Last week over 80,- 

 000 carnations alone were brought in. 

 New valley houses were recently added, 

 the space formerly taken by valley oe- 

 ing monopolized now by orchids. 

 Spring is earlier than it has been for 

 many years, and the carnation plants 

 are already being sent out to the fields,
