I have small fruits, raspberries, currants, 

 strawberries, and some young apple trees 

 which are doing very well. Some of the 

 trees do well here. I have box elder, cara-

 Russian poplar, laurel, leaved willow, roses

 covered with earth for winter). Nearly all 

 perennials do well.— R. W. Mclntyre, Ed-

 have derived great pleasure and profit from 

 It. — A. Carson, Barrle, Ont.
