tomatoes, Is plants of each kind; 5S yarie-
tics of Strawberries in bearing this year; 81
varieties of Delaware peach trees and %
varieties of Tasmania, Australia, peach
trees. which were specially imported by
the station and planted here in the fall OF
1890, the same being quite free of any ten
dency towards the yellows disease.
Although the trees did not arrive here in q
very healthy condition after their six
months journey, they have now recovered
and are doing very well, and as yet show
no local influences, although it will be
some years before the value of these trees
can be accurately judged.
