 Of the twenty-five pear trees I set in the spring of 1905, of the 

 Bartlelt and Seckel varieties, all have lived and go into winter

Twenty Early Richmond, English Morello and Wragg cher- 

 ries, planted at the same time, have shown vigorous growth, and 

 some of them bore large, handsome cherries this year. The so-

 which I have a dozen, with me beats all other trees in blossoming 

 and fruiting. The trees usually bear the second year transplanted 

 and are loaded with dark red fruit, a thing of beauty.
