OENAMEXTAL TREES AXD SHRUBS. 



Considerable thinning out of our ornamental' and flowering shrubs was made this 

 year which resulted in a stronger vegetative growth and more abundant bloom, llany 

 of these have been out a number of years and are now approaching maturity. A few 

 new shrubs and a large number of roses were planted. The following were the varieties 

 obtained and all apparently went into the winter in good shape : —

The hedges made their usual strong growth necessitating constant attention. The 

 common spiraea hedge was removed as it was getting so large it was seriously inter- 

 fering with those alongside of it.
