Notes and Comments. 



The Plant J)istrihutio\. — In send- 

 ing out the trees and plants for test- 

 ing, we have exercised great cai-e to 

 comply with the wishes of the members, 

 and give each one exactly the plant 

 chosen. Out of a membership of about 

 2000 it can scarcely be expected that 

 no instances of failure to receive the 

 right plant should occur, but as very 

 few complaints have been received we 

 presume that very few have been dis- 

 appointed. The Ostheim cherry was 

 much called for, and enough could not 

 be furnished for all, hence a few have 

 been asked to wait until fall. 



The new list is now ready and will, 

 we hope be found more interesting than 

 usual. The plants are all to be fur- 

 nished by reliable Canadian nurserymen 

 and Horists, who are responsible for 

 the (juality and condition of eacli 

 package. In order to secure a share 

 in this distribution, each member must 

 indicate his selection pre\ ious to the 

 time of distributing the plants, as that 

 implies that tli(> applicant agrees to the 

 condition of distril)uti()n, vi/., to culti- 



vate with care, and in due time be 

 prepared to report thereon tli rough 

 these columns. Anyone, however, who 

 last spring did not receive the plant 

 selected, or who received a wrong plant 

 by mistake, may make two selections 

 from this li.st when paying his next 

 annual members' fee.

 PERiMKNTAL GROUNDS. Since he re- 

 ceive so many re(|uests for his cat- 

 alogue, tlie editor of this journal again 

 repeats that he lias now for some years 

 retired from the nursery business, and 

 given his whole time and attention to 

 fruit growing and the study of horti- 

 culture. And although his fruit faru) 

 is already well filled with the mo.st 

 reliable varieties of apples, pears, 

 peaches, cherries, grapes, ((uinces and 

 small fruits that are suited to Canada, 

 he will still devote a few acres to the 

 careful testing of novelties in the in 

 terests of the readers of this journal. 

 At the same time he wholly declijies 

 to receive any plants for testing under 

 any promi.se, implied or understood, of 

 noticing them in these pages. He
