RICHMOND HILL, ONTARIO On the village signs at the north and south entrances to Richmond Hill is a crest on which appears the motto: “En La Rose Je Fleure”, the English translation of which appears at the heading of this article. The crest is the official crest of the Duke of Richmond whose name Richmond Hill bears and the motto was apparently adopted during the notorious “Wars of the Roses". Whatever its origin this motto is certainly a most appropriate one for Richmond Hill. Literally Richmond Hill flourishes with, the rose since rose growing is its largest industry. The industry began in Richmondi Hill in 1913 when W. J. Lawrence built his first greenhouse at the loca- tion now owned by Richmond Roses Limited. The followmg year the late Harold J. Mill‘s erected his first greenhouse, and it was soon foll- owed by others built by the late John Dunlop and Bedford Park Floral Co. Limited. After the death of Mr. Dunlop his plant was pur- chased by and is now owned and operated by H. J. Mills Ltd. The three firms now operating have a combined area under glass of over eight acres, and produce over four million roses per year which are shipped to every locality in the Do- minion from Vancouver to Halifax. They employ continuously eighty- fiv’e men and- for short periods over one hundred with an anmual pay roll of over one hundred and five thousand dollars. It is worthy of note in this respect that'miore men are employed at the greenhouses to- day than when the great depression begar. I think few industries have maintained as full employment dur- ing the depression as have the rose growers of Richmond Hill. Over In the Rose 1 Flourish (By Lion Paul E. Angle) Like other business-es, rose grow- ing' has felt the impact of changing times and has adjusted itself to these conditions. Of the varieties grown in 1913 not one is produced com- mercially today, and in the search for disease, insect, and nutrient con- trol, several new methods have been adopted. The sterilization of soil by the use of steam is now becoming a common practice, and the discov- ery of a simple and relatively ac- curate method of testing soil for nutrients has made systematic soil testing as a guide to fertilizer needs, also a common practice. nine thousand tons of cm] are con- sumed yearly and over forty mlles of heating piping and fifteen hun- dred horse power of boiler capacity are used to heat these plants. Chemical or soilless culture of roses is the most recent development which has been undertaken experiâ€" mentally in Richmond Hill during the past year. In this method, no soil is used. Instead of soil some material like cinders or gravel is used to hold the plant roots, and the nutrients or food for the plant is supplied in a solution that is pump- ed through the bed from two to four times per day, depending- on the sea- son of the year, the number of pumpings being increased as the days lengthen. The roses are grown in the same type of benches used for soil, except that they must be made watertight like a large vat or pan, and they must‘ be practically level. Also, some sort of cistern or tank must be provided to hold the nutrient solution. An electrically operated pump automatically con- trolled by a time‘switch does the pumping at whatever periods de- sired. The solution used is a scien- tifically developed formula made up of comparatively cheap commercial chemicals obtainable at any manu- facturing chemists, and dissolved in ordinary tap water. A complete change of solution is made rOughly once per month, and frequent tests must be made to maintain the pro- per acidity and» concentration of the solution as this changes from day to 'day. This system eliminates watering, changing of soil and application of fertilizer and manure. As with all new developments there are difficul- ties to overcome, but the past year has proven that this method is at least equal to soil in both quantity and quality of roses producer Whe- ther it can be perfected so as to re- place soil culture has yet to be prov- As a modern rose productién cen- tre, Richmond Hill stands unique. The only community which equals it is Brampton, the home of the fam- ous Dale Estate. Well may our village advertise: “In the Rose I Flourish". en, but science marches on, and stranger things have happened. LIONS IN THEIR LAIRS (By R. D.
