Your response to this offering has been encouraging and while we offer about the same number of varieties for 2001, we hope that we have propagated and included more of the varieties that you are looking for this year. In addition , we have greatly increased our collection so that we may add to our offering in the future. If you visit the nursery, some of these added varieties will be available in small quantities this year. You will be able to see many of these growing in our gardens. Our rose collection continues to expand with additions to all classes which we list in our catalogue. Most notable for 2001 is the addition to our catalogue of two new varieties in the Parkland series – Morden Snowbeauty and Morden Sunrise and three new varieities in the Explorere series – Louis Jolliet, De Montarville and Marie Victorin. We expect to have a number of significant additions in the Heritage roses in 2002 and 2003. We are proud this year to bring you Skinner’s Dwarf Pyramidal Cedar. This plant was grown from seed collected by Frank Skinner near Lac St. Jean, Quebec in 1960. We began to propagate and test it in 1990. At that time the original plant was approximately 180 cm. in height. It has dark green foliage with a noticeable spiral. We believe that this more dwarf form will prove to be a significant addition to evergreens which can be used for foundation planting.

RO-EXK-BT-C1............................................................................1 gal. - $12.00 Heritage Roses Canadian plant breeders have made many significant contributions to the development of hardy roses. The imaginative combinations of Frank Skinner, Percy Wright, Will Godfrey and Robert Simonet have provided inspiration to rose breeders who followed them. Many of the varieties that these and others have developed have special interest to gardeners and rose enthusiasts but are difficult to find. Many are excellent hardy plants for the landscape. Some are of particular interest for their breeding background and they reflect the diversity which can be found in roses. We have included in this section the varieties of more contemporary plant breeders such as John Wallace and Stan Zubrowski because individuals such as these have carried on the pioneering spirit in rose breeding in Canada.

We expect to be able to re-introduce some of these excellent varieties in the future. m. s in the arboretu Over the past 15 years we have Examining Tree been selecting from the exceptionally hardy trees, shrubs and perennials which are part of our collection. Among the material which we are looking at for possible introduction are lindens, clematis, mountain ash and prunus. Evaluation of new varieities of trees is a particularly long process.
