70 dominion experimental farms 



Records. 



A very complete system of horticultural records was com- 

 menced in the Spring of 1911. Every tree, shrub, vegetable 

 and flower is examined from time to time throughout the year, 

 and notes recorded giving annual growth, hardiness, general 

 condition, diseases and other items. Among these are many 

 minute details which apply to the different classes, as the dates 

 the flowers open, their period of full bloom and when their bloom 

 is over. These are at the Experimental Station at Charlotte- 

 town where they may be examined by those interested. Copies 

 for reference are sent regularly to the Central - Experimental 

 Farm at Ottawa.
