Fifty-five varieties of sweet peas were sown April 10. The first to bloom was 

 Helen Grosvenor. All varieties bloomed profusely until well into August. Soil and 

 climate are well adapted to the production of bloom of superior merit. 



SMALL FRUITS. 



While black, red and- white currants fruited freely, it is perhaps well to defer 

 nnother year the publication of the table of standing of the varieties being tested. 



Of the varieties of black currants under test, Beauty led with a yield of 13,209 

 pounds to the acre, while Bang Up, though not a heavy yielder, produced the choicest 



fruit. 



Among the red currants, Albert led with a yield of 9,995 pounds to the acre, while 

 the fruit was large and of excellent quality.
