Joined In 1928 Paul Angle Called Leader In Industry Mr. Angle joined the Bedford Park firm in 1928 after a car- eer in various horticulture en- terprises since graduating from the Ontario Agricultural Col- lege in 1909. When he first came to Richmond Hill to take over the management of the greernlhogsfia the business was Gastly different from what it I: ‘tpday. “In those days," said Mr. An- gle, “very little was known a~ bout the science of growing flowem. Green house operations were largely dependent upon the supply of greenhouse work- men trained by the apprentice method in large establishments in Great Britain and Eurbpe. Practically everything was done by rule of thumb or established custom. Fertilizing, insect and disease control and cropping procedures were crude when compared with those we use today." The lelectioh is much wider today. At the present time. the Bedford Park greenhouses have 17 varieties of Hybrid Teas in production and 12 of the sweet- heart rose types. Controlled cropping for h steady supply of the highest quality blooms is the order of the day. enabling customers to be supplied reg- ularly. Firms which were cus- tomers when Mr. Angle took charge in 1928 are still cus- tomers today. Among them are such wall-known shops as Miss Cairns in Montreal, Scrim’s in Ottawa and Tldy’s in Toronto.

Grandview Estates WILLOWDALE Under Mr. Angle's manage- ment the firm has played a lead- ing role in the steady improve- ment of growing methods. Tests of fertilizers, insect and disease control method-s and equipment are steadily carried on. Mr. Angle has personally taken a keen interest in obtain- ing research facilities and train- ing programs for the industry. in Canada. Much of this was‘ done through co-operation through trade associations. Be-‘ fore the last world war.
