Arbor Yitse and Junipers, the interspaces being filled with bedding 

 plants in summer. This method of planting possesses many advan- 

 tages, since it makes the beds attractive at all seasons.of the year. In 

 some of the beds in prominent places Azalea ameena is much used; 

 here it grows to be a shrub of considerable size, and is perfectly hardy ; 

 its fine masses of brilliant flowers are said to be particularly attractive 

 in spring. There are also large masses of Rhododendrons grouped in 

 some portions of the ground, which must present a magnificent 

 spectacle during that portion of the summer when they are in 

 bloom. 



In all departments an immense amount of work has been done 

 during the last two years, and at the time of my visit planting and 

 transplanting were proceeding most vigorously. 



SAUNDEES' HYBRID RASPBERRIES. 



BY CHARLES ARNOLD, PARIS. 



When discussing the question of " What varieties of Raspberries 

 are succeeding well ?" at our summer meeting in St. Catharines, I find, 

 on page 29 of our last year's Report, I am represented as saying "The 

 Saunders' Raspberry has giveii very poor satisfaction." This, Mr, 

 Editor, is a great mistake. Substituting the word good for the word 

 "poor" in the Report, might make it correct. I certainly could 

 not have said anything bad about them last year, for when growing 

 by the side of Mammoth Cluster, Philadelphia, Clarke, and several 

 other old varieties, several of Saunders' Hybrids were more productive 

 and better flavored than Philadelphia, and certainly equally as hardy 

 as any variety grown. 



We regret the error mentioned above should have appeared in our 

 report of the discussions. It arose from a misunderstanding of Mr. 

 Arnold's remarks, and we distinctly remember the feeling of dis- 

 appointment experienced by us at what we supposed him to have said, 

 and it is very gratifying to learn that these new hybrids which possess 

 so many points of interest are likely to prove valuable sorts.
