CANADIAN PLANTS IN JAPAN. 



The following letter, addressed to the 

 President of the Fruit-Growers' Asso- 

 ciation of Ontario, announces the safe 

 arrival of the plants sent by him to Mr. 

 Tsuda, of which we gave a brief notice 

 in the February number : 



Wm. Saunders, E;jq. — Dear Sir, — 

 How can I sufficiently thank you for such 

 a lot of valuable plants, which reached me 

 from you the last mail. The plants you 

 sent are most interesting, and I shall be 

 delighted to try them, and to propagate 

 them. They reached here in excellent 

 condition, the young shoots just ready to 

 come up, and I have placed them in the 

 ground and shall expect, in due time, good 

 results. Of course 1 shall let you know 

 how they do, and what success I have with 

 them, later on. I am almost certain they 

 will do well ere, as most such small fruits 

 do, and, in fact, in any part of Japan. 

 The weather is not yet very cold, and now 

 is the best time to plant them, which I 

 have done, duly and according to your ad- 

 vice as to the number of feet apart. I 

 shall be greatly interested to know how 

 they do, and shall take great care to culti- 

 vate them well. 



I should be very glad to give you any 

 information about the native plants, and 

 as to the grape plants, 1 should be glad to 

 send you any variety. Just now is too 

 late to send, so I ^vill wait until the spring. 

 I will enclose you some seeds of various 

 trees, and more from time to time, as I 

 can get them. If T can do anything else 

 for you in my hne, I shall be most glad to 

 do it for you. 



Many of the American fruits do well 

 here. The apple in the northern part of 

 Japan grows very well. I think, too, that 

 our Japanese Persimmon does very well 

 in your country. I shall be very glad to 

 receive any of the publications of your
