FLOWERS. 



A great deal of work was done during the year on the ornamental grounds which 

 were laid out under the direction of Mr. F. E. Buck. Over three hundred varieties 

 of annuals and perennials were grown, besides numbers of bulbs, shrubs, and hedges. 



HEDGES. 



It is important to learn what kinds of plants arc most suitable for hedge purposes 

 in the province of Quebec, and basing the kinds to be tested on those which were 

 succeeding best at Ottawa, the following trees and shrubs were planted. Each 

 variety of these was planted in one row fifty feet long, the plants being eighteen 

 inches apart in the rows. The hedges are placed fifteen feet apart: — 



Thunberg's Barberry (Berbers Thunbergii), 

 Siberian Pea Tree (Caragana arborescens), 

 Siberian Dogwood (Cornus alba sibirica), 

 Cockspur Thorn (Crataegus Crus-galli.) 

 Irish Juniper (Juniperus communis fastigiata),
