EXPERIMENTAL FARMS 



7 GEORGE V, A. 1917 



from the Central Experimental Farm, and although their performance is known 

 there, it is yet to be determined -whether they will prove satisfactory here. 



The orchard is planted on the " square " system, with seven standard trees in each 

 row, and two trees each of three varieties used in each row as fillers, making thirteen 

 trees per row and 28 rows in the orchard. 



During the season the trees made remarkably good growth, and entered winter 

 conditions in excellent shape. 



From the time of planting in May until July 15 the ground for a distance of 4 

 feet on each side of the rows of trees was kept cultivated, after which a cover crop 

 of rape was sown. This cover crop grew very rank and covered the ground splendidly 

 by late autumn. However, the growth was so rank that the rape had to be removed 

 from around the trees for a distance of 18 inches to allow the trees to ripen properly. 

 This was done in September. 



The following is a list of the standard and filler trees used: Seven trees of each 

 of the following varieties: Montreal Peach, CharlamoS (Pointed Pipka), McMahan, 

 and Early Strawberry. 



The following is a list of the trees received from the Central Farm, seven of each 

 variety : Galetta, Joyce, Lobo, Horace, Atlas, Eajnona, Severn, Glenton, Galena, 

 Marcus, Thurso, Luke, Mendel, Danville, Rocket, Donald, Niobe, Nestor, Rosalie, 

 Tasty, Gerald, Ascot, and Grover. Eight trees of each of the following varieties: 

 Crusoe, Battle, Melba, Pedro, and Petrel.
