Nearly all the Canadian sorts and several hundred new varie- Eties imported by the Experimental De- partment from different parts of Eur- ope, Asia, AfriCa, Australia, and the United States have been included in these carefully conducted experiments. Some of the new varieties have done exceptionally well and have already been distributed over Ontario, through the medium of the Experimental Un- ion, with very gratifying results.
