HARDY AND TENDER.

After the sad experiences in many portions of the Northwest, where in some severe winters whole orchards of trees and extensive nurseries were ruined by the cold, it has become a most important question for planters to ask whether the varieties recommended are _hardy_. The testimony of some of our best observers has been collected, and will be of value, though it may be observed that there is some discrepancy as to certain sorts.

The following list of hardy and tender varieties was prepared by Reuben Ragan, Putnam County, Indiana, and has since been carefully revised. Soil a rich argillaceous loam on lime stone:

TENDER.

Baldwin, Bullock's Pippin, Early Harvest, Esopus, Fall Pippin, Gravenstein, Michael Henry, *Newtown Spitzenberg, Ortley, Pryor's Red, Rambo, Rawle's Janet, Rhode Island Greening, *Roxbury Russet, *Summer Queen.

* These suffered in the nursery especially.

HARDY.

SWEET APPLES FOR BAKING AND FOR STOCK FEEDING.

With many persons the consumption of sweet apples becomes an important item of household economy; for the feeding and fattening of stock sweet apples have deservedly attracted the attention of intelligent farmers, and they may yet be much more extensively planted in many places where the land is not well adapted to the production of grain and other staple crops for the support of man and the animals under his care.

With a view to aid the planter the following lists have been collated:
