Flowers are among the assets of the Canadian Pacific Railway. It is the policy of the, Company to establish permanent flower gardens at every station along the long line of track stretched across the conâ€" tinent. the very early days of the railroad the pioneers were too busy attending to the task of opening up new roads to give much attention to flowers, yet even back in the early days one of the C. P. R. employees proâ€" duced a few varieties of flower seeds in his own piot and distributed thkem amongst his friends at some of the stations with the object of starting flower gardens along the line. This took place over 30 years ago, and toâ€"day the Company spends a considerable amount producing and distributing seeds and shrubs of. all kinds to station agents along the lines. The Company maintains a floral department with headquarters at the Windsor Street Station in Montreal.

The C. P.+R. recogrizes thits effort and much interest is aroused by the annual competitions on both eastern and western lines of the Company for the fincst station gardens. Extensive layouts do not enter into the contest but.the gardens that have shown the most improvement during the year are the ones that carry off the honors. Repreâ€" sentatives from the floral department tour the lines each year, sizing up the gardens and deciding the winner. Substantial money prizes are awarded each year. The floral department of the Canadian Pacific is constantly in touch with horticultural institutions, inâ€" cluding agricultural colleges and societies, so that no stone is left unturned to keep up to the very latest standard.
