By: Dale O'Hara.
It originated with an entrepreneurial spirit and the desire to succeed in
the new world. It grew from an innate love of roses, their beauty, their
scent and their challenge. It was tempered with a serendipitous meeting of
two different business approaches. It forged the largest and most

Acres of Glass is a story of a family, of pride and ambition, of soaring
dreams and unbridled success, and of security and stability for Brampton, a
small Ontario town in Peel County that grew to be recognized internationals as the Flower
Town of Canada. It is the story of the rise and fall of the company known
as the Dale Estate, the third largest greenhouse operation in the world, a
company that survived two world wars, a flu pandemic and the Great
Depression, but could not withstand the crushing wheel of progress and the
changing economy.
