permission is secured from the donor. The Station will assume 
no responsibility, however, in case of theft, though all reasonable 
care will be taken to prevent it. 
All varieties accepted will be acknowledged in the annual report 
for the year in which they are received. .

preferred. In the other large fruits, trees are preferred, though 
in the pear, cions or buds will be acceptable.

full report will be made will be twenty-four, and five in the rasp- 
berry, blackberry, currant and gooseberry. In the grape and in
