Already 1500 parks end station gardens have been'constructed along the lines. "The Floral Route to the Wel" is the name by which the. Company's garden system is known. Years ago John Caesar became station master It l\tarkdale, Ontarsa, one of the first :gallon.; to be officially opened 4 the after taking over the Toronto and Bruce Railway, His love of flowers prompted him to plant a little garden at his station. From thim evolved a three thousand mile fate of blossoms. One of the problems with which the -Floral Committee have to contend is tha great difference in climatic conditions of the sections through is the lines run. It has been found that the Iceland poppy will grow ie profusion at taloa Louise and today the Icelatel Poppy ht this famous moitntain resort is known the world o4er. On the route from North Bay to Fort William' the cmentry is very rtigged and the wint- ers severe, Hare it hasirden found that the prtesy plant, which is biennial, is most suited to the climate. Thousands of these plants ha,vibeen plaited along tlic lines in this eeetion ! each wear, Red Rambler Roses have taken a prornhient Station Gardem at Montreal weat, Quo. place of late !is they bloom all summer and remake little attention. In fact, a careful study of climatic and oil con- , ditione is being made by the Floral Depattment of the Cana- dian Pacific.
