In the Annual Report for 1903 a list of perennial flowers is given, most of which 

 were sent from the Central Experimental Farm in 1900. Nearly all of these proved 

 hardy. Included in this list was a number of varieties of iris, pseony and many other 

 attractive perennials. Particulars as to the species and varieties tested will ha found 

 on pages 382-4 of that report. 



TREES AND SHRUBS. 



All trees and shrubs made large growth during the past season. All were well 

 ;ut in leaf by May 24, and no set-back tool< place up to the time of frost in Septem- 

 ber. 



So rapid has been the growth of trees about fruit, and other garden plots, the 

 last few years, that it has been found necessary to cut out in some cases, and cut back 

 in many, the hedges surrounding these plots. Wliile every season these hedges have 

 been severely trimmed, they have outgrown such work, and are becoming an injury 

 to all produce growing at all close to them, !^^aple and willow hedges are giving the 

 most trouble in this respect. 



Over 100,000 maple trees, in addition to a large number of shrubs have been taken 

 up and heeled in for next spring's distribution.
