A small experimental orchard of plums, prunes, cherries 
peaches and apricots was set in thespringof 1892. They came 
from Stark Bros’. Nursery in Louisiana, Mo., and were in 
very poor condition when received. About 20 per cent, of 
these died. 
Small fruits, especially grapes and stawberries have 
done remarkably well at the Station. Of the latter, Man¬ 
chester and Jesse have given the best results. The follow¬ 
ing table gives data of different varieties of grapes :
