The Garden of Canada

This c1902 book ("The Garden of Canada" - Burlington, Oakville and District) contains 96 pages of photographs, descriptions and text related to its subject area, and as such provides a wealth of information for those interested in the subject.

Reproduced here is that section relevant primarily to Oakville (31 pages). Due to the somewhat fragile nature of the material our digital reproduction is less than perfect, but imperfections notwithstanding it should suffice for most non-commercial purposes. The entire book (minus the back cover) is of course available in our archives for viewing.

Please see page 96 (at the end of the book) for credits.
