64 The Ottawa Naturalist. 



Under " Notes on the Blossoming of Fruit Trees in Canada " 

 will be found data of scientific and economic value, covering the 

 blossoming period of the leading fruits in widely separated por- 

 tions of the Dominion. By referring to these records the 

 orchardist may so arrange his fruit trees as to bring together 

 those varieties blossoming at or about the same time, in order to 

 encourage thorough fertilization of the blosoms. 



The results of cultural experiments with raspberries, straw- 

 berries and blackberries are detailed, and valuable deductions 

 drawn therefrom. 



Under " Spraying Experiments " the value of this practice 

 is emphasized by the results obtained in treating plant diseases 

 particularly injurious to orchard and garden crops. Extensive 

 varietal tests are described in connection with vegetable and 

 tobacco experiments. The report is sent without charge to 

 farmers, fruit growers and others who express a desire to re- 

 ceive it.
