The Niagara grape vine, presented by E. M. Eoffee, Clyde, N. Y., last 

 year sent out two or three slender shoots, the longest of which was two feet 

 long. They all winter-killed, or at least died back to the ground. This 

 spring the first shoots were killed by the late frosts, and on June 30 there 

 were several feeble shoots two or three inches long still growing below the 

 surface of the soil. I never expect to see luscious Niagaras grown at Gray- 

 ling in the open air. 



The Eussian trees, planted in the spring of 1888, still remain where first 

 set. There were thirty-five species in all, some in the form of cuttings, only 

 two to ten of each kind. The number of each was too small to warrant 

 any conclusions at this time as to their value. Some have died, a few have 

 done very well, and on the whole they seem to promise more for this soil 

 and climate than most of our natives.
