Nevis Trial Station in 1916. 



JAS. ARROWOOD, SUPT. 



The apple crop was very light. Too much rain in the spring 

 and wind almost destroyed it, excepting a few seedling apple 

 trees that seemed to stand the storms and bore a fair crop. The 

 plum crop was very scattering, though all trees were in a good

rants and gooseberries, they were all good and sold to a ready 

 market at home at a good price. 



The Hansen sand cherries are doing fairly well and seem 

 to bear a good fair crop. 



In regard to my prunes, they are all first-class and bore a 

 good crop of fruit this year. 



The Oregon sweet cherry is doing remarkably well ; it bore 

 some fruit. While the fruit may not be as large as some of 

 the other commercial cherries, we believe it will be a success in 

 Northern Minnesota and will be a good substitute for the cherry. 

 It shows every indication of hardiness and is a great beauty. 



We would say in regard to the strawberry that Number 3, 

 bred by Mr. Haralson at the Central Station, is a wonderful 

 berry and a leader among all June bearers.
