PLUMS. 



Wild varieties gave a fair crop but, like the crab-apples, the blossoms were 

 injured by the frost, and only a few varieties bore fruit. 



Three cross-bred varieties, Aitkin, Assiniboin, and Owanka, received from 

 Prof. Hansen in 1908, fruited the past season. The trees being small the crop was 

 not heavy but the fruit was large and of good flavour. 



APPLE TREES. 



Some three thousand seedling apple trees were pirated last spring, in nursery 

 rows, and made a strong growth. No doubt many of them will be killed, but it is 

 hoped that some may survive and bear fruit. 



FRUIT TREES PLANTED IN 1912. 



Hybrid apple trees received from the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and 

 used to fill up the blanks in the different orchard?: 50 Charles, G6 Prince, 100 Jewel, 

 45 Silvia, 5 Columbia, 62 Pioneer. 



The following yearling apple seedlings were received from the Central Experi- 

 mental Fai'm, Ottawa, and planted in nursery rows. 000 Anis seedlings, 550 

 Antondvka seedlings, 525 Beautiful Arcad seedlings, 55 Hibernal seedlings, 220 

 Tetofsky seedlings, 1G0 Duchess seedlings, 450 Charlamoff seedlings, 350 Yellow 

 Transparent seedlings.
