As British as Basingstoke

Victoria is as British as Basingstroke and as beautiful in scenery, luxuriant growth of flowers and peaceful quiet as any place on earth. Come to Victoria and you will see how Britishers live and do business. There men live on $4,000 a year, looking prosperous and contented, instead of dyspeptic and worried on $100,000 a year as we do in the States. They have time to live, their faces are pink, no deep lines running from the eyes towards the chin. This place is prosperous. Many people from the Far East, from China, India and also from England come here to live and bring their money with them. They get a great deal for it. You should see this country.�.Arthur Brisbane.

.All summer long, and through the fall too. a veritable riot of color and perfume surround the smallest cottage. The gardens are outstandingly gorgeous. One of the most famous is that of Mr. and Mrs. John Butchart at Brentwood, eleven miles from the city. Mr. Butchart built his country house near one of his cement works. When these works were given up out of the great chasms that were left they made one of the great sunken gardens of the world. Dark Italian cypresses make a background for slender native birch trees. Masses of flowers, annual and perennial, cascade over what were once cliffs of industry. Silver water streams from the old gray rock and hides in little shadowy glens. The entire fourteen acres are open to the public all day and every day.�Harper's Basaar. Province Pictorial
