104 EXPERIMENTAL WARMS 



2 GEORGE V., A. 19 2 



1910, I visited the Agricultural College, Guelph, Ont., and in June the Arnold Arbore- 

 tum, Jamaica Plain, Mass., and the Agricultural College, Durham, New Hampshire. 

 On July 20, 1910,1 left for the west on a visit to the Experimental Farms and other 

 places among which were Winnipeg, St. Charles, Brandon, and Morden, Man.; Indian 

 Head, Regina, Rosthern, Saskatoon, and Scott, Sask. ; Lethbridge, Lacombe, Calgary, 

 Edmonton, Wainwright and Laggan, Alta., Salmon Arm, Kamloops, Agassiz, Van- 

 couver, Victoria, Sidney, Vernon, Summerland, Penticton, and Kelowna, B.C., also the 

 Agricultural College and Experiment Stations at Fargo, N.D., Brookings, S.D., St. 

 Anthony Park, Minn., and Ames, Iowa, at all of which places I learned something 

 which should prove useful in the development of horticulture in Canada. 



During October, 1910, I visited the Experimental Farms at Nappan, N.S., and 

 Charlottetown, P.E.I., and also examined the proposed site of the new Station at 

 Kentville, N.S., and in December, I made a further examination to assist in deciding 

 on the area to be selected. On December 30, 1910, I visited the Experimental Station 

 at Cap Rouge, Que. 



ACKNOWLEDGMENTS. 



I desire again to acknowledge my indebtedness to farmers, fruit growers, and 

 market gardeners throughout Canada and other countries for their kind co-operation 

 in helping to make the work of the Horticultural Division of greater value by fur- 

 nishing information on various matters, and also by their friendly attitude towards 

 the work we are attempting to do. 



It is also a pleasure to be able, through this annual report, to record my appreci- 

 ation of the faithful and efficient work of those who have assisted me at Ottawa during 

 the past year, those in charge of the various branches of the work and to whom I par- 

 ticularly refer being: Mr. T. Gordon Bunting, Assistant; Mr. J. F. Watson, Secretary; 

 Mr. H. Holz, Foreman; Mr. II. Read, Assistant Foreman; and Mr. Frank Horn. 

 Foreman in the Arboretum and Botanic Garden. To the other men who have done 

 a large part of the physical labour, I wish also to express my thanks for their loyal 

 support.
