Shrubs. 



It gives me pleasure to report that the list of shrubs, doing fairly well on the farm, 

 is increasing. 



Although many of the sorts kill back partially in the winter and are growing 

 slowly, they are all making some progress, both in size and ability to stand the climate. 



Among those doing well, Caragana is first in growth and hardiness ; Artemisia 

 Abrotanum continues to do well as a hedge ; Lilacs, Common "White, Persian and Josikea 

 have flowered and given good satisfaction and Acer Ginnala, Russian Olive and Flow- 

 ering Currant have made a fair growth and stand the winter well. Most of the other 

 shrubs tested are cut back during winter and their growth is very slow. 



The Native Shrubs, such as Hawthorn, Silver Berry, Snowberry and Buffalo Berry, 

 do well.
