Eighty-five per cent of the above have lived and made fair to strong growth and 

 are in good condition for the winter. In the spring of 1898 some of the blanks will be 

 filled with new varieties of crosses between Pyrus baccata and some of the larger 

 varieties of apples which have been recently originated at Ottawa. 



Plots No. 1 and 2 are inclosed by a hedge of seedling Lilacs raised from seed of 

 Syringa Vulgaris Chas. X, 18 inches high, set out 3 feet apart. Plots No. 3 and 4 by 

 seedlings of Caragana A'^-horescens, 18 inches high, planted 30 inches apart. 



These plantations when completely filled will accommodate 1,920 trees. 



PLUMS. 



Seedlings of Weaver. — Eighty trees were planted in the spring of 1894. Sixty- 

 eight were living in the autumn of 1897. These have made a strong growth and appear 

 to be hardy. One tree bore three plums this year, but they did not ripen. 



Seedlings of Hungarian. — Twenty of these were planted in the spring of 1894. 

 Five were living in the autumn of 1897. They have made strong growth and appear 

 to be hardy. No fruit has yet been borne on any of this variety, but the trees were 

 covered with blossoms this year ; which were however frozen in May. 



Seedlings of Speer. — Four of these were planted in the spring of 1895 and were^ll 

 living in the autumn of 1897. They have made strong growth and appear to be hai'dy, 

 but have not yet borne fruit. 



Seedlings of De Soto. — Eight were planted in the spring of 1895, and 6 were living 

 in the autumn of 1897. They have made a strong growth and seem hardy, but have 

 as yet borne no fruit.
