PERENNIALS. 



The old beds of perennials, most of which were planted O'lt in 1900, made very 

 strong growth, and presented a fine succession of bloom throughout the season. 



BULBS. 



Tulips. — In flower from May 15 to June 2. Very fine, but suffered from the 

 drought, which shortened the flowering period. 



Dahlias. — Set out June 2; in flower July 18 till frost. The double ones were 

 especially fine. 



Gladioli. — Set out June 10; in flower August 8. Did well. 



Iris. — ^Beds of Iris planted in 1900 bloomed freely from June 4 to July 19. 



PAEONIES. 



In flower from June 10 to July 15. 



Last spring a large number of Japanese Iris, and some Cannas and Dahlias were 

 sent up from the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. These were planted out and 

 made satisfactory growth. A number of the Dahlias flowered very fully till September 

 17. Following will be found a list of those living at the close of the season.
