CHERRIES^ PEARS^ AND PLUMS. 



The work in these orchards was not very extensive as only a few varieties were 

 planted in each orchard. These orchards are arranged in blocks adjoining each 

 other and are located on the south side of the variety orchard towards the west end 

 of the horticultural area. 



The site is on a knoll with a southern and southwestern exposure. The soil is 

 sandy in places, but runs into heavy clay ftirther back. 



For convenience of cultivation, the trees in the orchard were planted 15 by 20 

 feet apart so that the apple orchard and plums, pears and cherries could be cultivated 

 without any inconvenience.

SMALL FRUITS. 



RASPBERRIES. 



This plantation is located in the same range with the currants and gooseberries. 

 The rows of raspberries are planted between the currants and gooseberries with the 

 object of keeping the varieties of raspberries from mixing. The arrangement allows 

 the rows to be 12 feet apart alternating with other bush fruits. 



All the varieties did well and showed every possibility of their wintering in good 

 condition. 



The varieties are as follows: Herbert, King, Count, Sarah, Brighton, and Eton. 



GOOSEBERRIES. 



A few varieties were planted, those that arrived and were planted in good time 

 making comparatively good growth. 



The varieties are as follows : Downing, Whitesmith, Carrie, Josselyn, Houghton, 

 and Oregon Champion. 



CURRANTS. 



The currant plantation contains 23 varieties, planted in rows 12 feet apart and 

 6 feet apart in the rows, there being six bushes to each variety. 



To simplify record work the plantation is divided into ranges 30 feet wide which 

 enables the records being taken on each separate variety in a range, and greatly 

 facilitates the work.
