Market Gardening on Maple Avenue $10
Dave was a neighbour for many years as our family lived at 1101 Lockhart rd. (king years ago) We purchsed thousand of bedding plants from their greenhouses. (Tomatoes, lettace, cabbage, cauli, etc. ) Later we would sell finish fruit and veg, back to his trucking business to supply northern communities with garden fresh suppliES. Worked for him two winters in 1959 and 60. His father Allan was still there at that time watching the business. Very hard working family.
My family immigrated from Italy and Allan Davidson and David, helped my family. Gave them jobs and a good life. They were an honest good family that just tried to help. Will forever be grateful to them.
