planted in the orchard and the past season several more were 



set. At present the young trees are growing- finely. The 



varieties included in the list are the following:

Besides the apples above mentioned there are on trial at 

 present several varieties of plums and cherries, all of which are 

 proving hardy and many of which promise to be of value. The 

 list of plums includes the following Russian sorts: Bessara- 

 bian, Early Red, Hungarian Prune, Moldavaka, Voronesch 

 Yellow, White Nicholas, 19 and 20 Orel. In addition to these 

 are Cheney, Rollingstone, Wolf, and Wyant of the Americana 

 class. ■ 



The cherries include Griotte du Nord, Orel Sweet and 23 

 Orel. Mr. Nutting reports as follows on these fruits : 



"None of the plums sent by you have produced fruit in such 

 abundance as Mooers' Arctic, but they are not yet as old as the 

 latter. 



"The cherries are growing well and all but one bore some 

 fruit last year. Orel Sweet and Griotte du Nord are very 

 promising."
