Bulbs. 



In October, 1905, a large collection of bulbs were sent from the Central Experi- 

 mental Farm, Ottawa, and wore set out before the ground froze. The list comprised 

 Tulips, Narcissus, Crocus, Snowdrops, Siberian Squills and Glory of the Snow (Cbion- 

 odoxa). These g,ave a fine succession of bloom in the early part of the season, the 

 Tulips doing the best. 



Perennials. 



The following perennials were sent from the Central Experimental Earm, Ottawa, 

 on April 12, 190G, and were planted out in the garden. The majority of them made 

 weak growth, but such of them as survive the winter will likely make better progress 

 in 1907.
