this summer. Fay's Currant that I 

 received in 1885 grew very well. 

 Stewartville. A LEX. Stewaht. 



I received my Fay's Currant all 

 right. It has done very well this 

 summer. 



Grassmere. James Pickering. 



My Catalpa did nicely. Its growth 

 is three feet and one inch. It has beau- 

 tiful foliage. My Niagara Raspberry 

 got killed back about one third down 

 by the frost last winter, but there was 

 a tine crop of very large berries. I 

 am very much pleased with them. 



Port Dover. E. H. Hyerse. 



The grape-vine came all right and 

 grew nicely. 



Unionville. JoHN Smith. 



The Fay's Currant did very well with 

 me, and I hope that it will give me a 

 sample of its fruit this coming season. 



Femhill. James M. Waters. 



The Catalpa I received last year has 

 grown very well. I planted it in a 

 grass plot, and gave it no special care. 



Toronto. H. H. Ardagh. 



The Hardy Catalpa grew well and 

 promises to be a very ornamental tree. 

 The Prentiss Grape-vine sent me in 

 1 884 has made but little growth. 



Oakville. 



G. Hallen. 



Fay's Prolitic Currant that I got 

 List spring did well. The Niagara 

 lliispberry that I got in 1884 sent one 

 fine shoot out. This spring it was 

 killed to the ground, but the root sent 

 out three fine shoots, which I will pro- 

 tect if I can from the winter. 



Lansdown, Leeds Co. W. B. 



The Dahlia which was sent me last 

 spring came to hand in good time and 



in good condition. It bore a number 

 of large and beautiful double blossoms, 

 and gave me a number of tubers for 

 next year's planting. My land is a 

 sandy loam. W. B. Hill. 



My Catalpa has grown very well. 

 Some of the leaves were nearly 6 in. 

 long by 4 in. broad. It sent out three 

 branches — two grew about a foot long, 

 and the other 8 inches. My Canadian 

 Baldwin ApjDle is alive, and has done 

 well considerinor the chance it got. 

 Last winter was very severe ; some of 

 my neighbors lost 90 out of a 100 trees 

 planted, and others not quite so bad. 

 Wm. Clark. 



St. Vincent, Dec. 12th, 1885. 



The trees and plants I got all came 

 in good order and did well, the Gladio- 

 lus excepted. I think my soil must be 

 too heavy and cold. It made poor pro- 

 gress the first year, and failed alto- 

 gether the second. 



The Ontario Apple is quite at home 

 here and quite hardy. It had just one 

 apple on it last year, but the codlin 

 moth found it out and it fell prema- 

 turely, so I could not know its size or 

 flavor. The Saunders' Baspberry has 

 grown well, and is a great bearer ; but 

 the fruit is small and the color is unin- 



viting.

Owen Sound, Ont. 



You wish all subscribers to report 

 success on what they have received as 

 premiums. The first I had was Moore's 

 Early Grape ; last year was the third 

 season it blossomed, but as yet no fruit. 

 I expect next season to be able to re- 

 port on the fruit. 



The next was the Worden. I had a 

 few bunches. They were good — I can 

 recommend them as a good grape. 



The Prentiss is too young yet to re- 

 port on, but will do so in season. 



The Fay Currant is growing well.
