Fyle Elementary Tulip Survey

To: Journey North Tulip Gardeners
From: Fyle Elementary School- Classroom A-11
Date: February 16, 1996

Hello! Let us introduce ourselves: We are Fourth and Fifth Grade Tulip Explorers from Fyle Elementary School in Henrietta, New York (outside of Rochester, NY). We are near to Niagara Falls, NY.

All of the Journey North Registered gardens planted Red Emperor tulips. At Fyle School we planted our tulips during the week of November 6, 1995. It will be a while before our tulips bloom.

We are collecting information about tulip survival and health. We would like other classes in the Journey North Project to respond to our survey about the Red Emperor Tulips you have grown this year.

Our survey questions are listed below. Please complete all of the questions or as many as you can using data you collect. We expect information to come soonest from locations where tulips are already blooming. Send your answers to: rhjn@mail.rh.monroe.edu no later than April 15, 1996.

Hints for Filling Out This Survey

When we needed information about precipitation, which is the amount of rain, snow or other moisture which falls on the ground, we wrote to our local meteorologist. We got his address from looking in our newspaper's weather section. He was very friendly. We have written to him several times.You may have a meteorologist in your area who will be able to help you collect precipitation data.

If you have questions about the work we have done so far, please write to us. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Rush-Henrietta Central School District send questions/problems: postmaster@mail.rh.monroe.edu ExpressNet/SMTP (c)1994-95 Delphic Software, Inc. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
