 also be found particulars of the experiments and observations which have been made 

 during the past year in connection with the Apiary. 



The large and constantly increasing demand by the farmers of the Dominion for 

 the publications issued from the experimental farms, the rapidly extending corres- 

 pondence and the readiness shown by farmers everywhere to co-operate with the work 

 of the farms in the testing of new and promising varieties of cerejils furnish gratify- 

 ing evidence of the desire for information and improvement among this class of the 

 commvinity, also of the high esteem in which the work of the farms is held. It is 

 hoped that the facts brought together in the present issue will be found of much prac- 

 tical value to the Canadian farmer and fruit-grower, and that they may assist in ad- 

 vancing agriculture and horticiilture in this country. 



I have the honour to be, sir, 

 Your obedient servant, 



WM. SAUNDEES, 

 Director of Experimental Farms, 



To the Honourable, 



The Minister of Agriculture, 

 Ottawa.
