Some of these were planted on the bench land and the balance in plots which 

 were prepared by manuring and thorough cultivation during the summer ; it is hoped 

 that they will come through the winter this time in good condition. 



FOREST TREES, SHRUBS AND VINES. 



As many of these were very small when planted they were more or less injured 

 by the heaving of the ground in the spring, many of them had to be reset on that 

 account. Those that lived have made a vigorous growth. 



The following lists show the number which has been planted of each sort with 

 the number now livijig. It is proposed to plant many of the hard wood timber trees 

 on the bench lands and in the interspaces among the rocks on the face of the mountain 

 at the back of the farm for the purpose of ascertaining whether these valuable woods 

 of the east cannot be grown hei-e to advantage. If such land, much of which is of no 

 value other than for timber, can be utilized in this way it will no doubt result in much 

 future benefit to the Province. 



The trees in the following list have been raised from seed, either at the Central 

 Experimental Farm or by some of the growers of forest trees and shrubs in the United 

 States ; the following list gives the number planted and living.
