BLACKBERRIES. 



Like the strawberries, these suffered considerably last winter from heaving out, 

 and those not killed were so feeble that but few made a vigorous growth.

The part of the plot where Wilson Jr., Wilson's Early, Lawton, Erie and Early 

 King were planted was a little the highest and dryest, which is probably the reason 

 why a larger percentage of these sorts lived. 



The following new varieties were received this year; — Lovett's Best, Thomp- 

 son's Early, Evergreen, Dallas, Child's Tree, Brunton. 



BLACK CURRANT. 



The black currant does not appear to have suffered from the heaving of the 

 ground as the other small fruits did, as all have made a healthy, vigorous growth. 

 Last spring 15 new varieties of Saunders' Seedlings were received from the Central 

 Experimental Farm, which makes the collection of this fruit fairly largo, number- 

 ing nearly 200 bushes and 29 varieties. 



RED AND WHITE CURRANTS. 



The currants stood the winter better than the berries. Very few of them died, 

 but all were considerably enfeebled, and did not make a very vigorous growth. As 

 they are now well rooted they will, it is hoped, come through this winter in good 

 condition. 



Only one new variety has been received this year, viz., 12 plants of North Star. 



The number of plants of each variety planted in the fall of 1890 and alive now 

 is as follows : —
