Through the Ontario Fruit Growers' Association, a number of new seedling 

 black currants have been sent out for trial to different parts of the province. In 

 addition to these, 100 Rosa rubrifolia (red-leaved rose), 75 Spirosa rotundifolia (round- 

 leaved spiraea), were distributed through the same medium, together with 500 plants 

 each of Colorado blue spruce (Picea pungens), yellow pine (Pinus ponderosa), and 

 Douglas fir (^Pseudotsuga Douglasii). 



Cherry Scions. 



In response to the offer of cherry scions for propagating purposes, of the varieties 

 described in Bulletin No. 17, a large number of applications were received. Many 

 of the applicants were labouring under the erroneous impression that trees instead 

 of scions, would be sent them. One hundred and twenty-eight packages were distri- 

 buted, covering every province in the Dominion, a large proportion going to the 

 Maritime Provinces. Yery satisfactory reports have been received from many who 

 were successful in propagating them. 



Manitoba and North-west Territories.

 Western Provinces. The details are contained in the following table : —
