Hardy Apples and Tear.
Many nre the enquiries na to the
hardy varieties of apples, especially
nuchas wilUtand our climate. While
-we believe that hardy varieties from
any locality will prove hardy in an
other locality, we naturally look as
far, or further, North than wc arc, for
most satisfactory evidences of hardi
ness. Thus influenced, wchave looked
toward Northern Iowa, Wisconsin and
Minnesota, to ascertain what varieties
have done best there. "We have fre
quently, heretofore, given the testi
mony of individuals from these sec
tions of the'eountry. -'
Recently Z. C. Fairbanks, an old
and reliable fruit raider of Applcton,
"Wjps., has written quite a lengthy
and detailed reply to a letter from a
Mr. Demicg, making enquiries among
olhcr things
; 1. What kind of apples would you
recommend?
2. Is thero any kind of crab apples
that would pay to raise?
.. 3. What iiind of pears will answer,
r.nd whether dwarf or standard nre
the best ?
4. 1 low old trees would you say was
best to net out?
5. What distance would you plant
them apart each way ?
H. What kind of trees best to et out
for wind breaks; such as will grow
quick?
7. Is there any kind of evergreen
tlmt will answer for protection, grow
ing rapidly?
To these enquiries Mr. Fairbanks
replies through the Rural New Yorker
of February 20th, and from which
we extract the following important
points:
' "With us, the Duchess of Olden
burgh, for hardines, leads the apple
list. The Tetofsky i reported equal
ly hardy; but with it I have had no
acquaintance. I place next to the
above two varieties. the Talman Sweet,
Ked Astrachan. Fameuse, St. Law
rence: and the Golden Itussct, for its
long keeping qualities, though not
quite as hardy. The Ferry Russet, at
one time, was here considered very
hardy ; but for the last few years it
has notsustained its former reputation.
I would also recommend the setting of
a few of the following varieties, as
Borne of them may prove equally suc
cessful with some of the five varieties
last named. Red Romanite, Saxton,
Uttcr's Large Red, Pound Sweet,
liailey Sweet, Ren Davis, Richfield
Nonsuch, Sops of Wine, Mother Dom
inie, Fall Wine, Lowell, Torn rue Grise,
Twenty Ounce, Fall Stripe, cultivated
bv J. C. Plumb of Madison, Wis., and
Maryland Largc lieu Streak ana Green
Seek-no-farther, as recommended by
Adam Grimes of Jefferson, Wis. as
very hardy, and desirable as long
keojwrs.
"Tho Tranccndent Crab, I think,
will pay to raise. The Large Red and
Large Yellow Silurians nre said to be
the best flavored for preserving; I can
only speak of varieties selected! from
those 1 am acquainted with.
"For hardness, the FlemislrReauty
leads the pears. Next to. it we regard
the Ananas d'Ete, Swan's Orange,
Oswego Bcurro and Winter Ncllis;
and yet I have seen manv trees of the
above varieties winter kill, and the
name season the Rartlett, Rell Lucra
tive, Ixniisc Bonne, Stevens Genesee,
iTbanisk, Lawrence, Vicar, and even
others, live; yet, I think more general
success has attended the former.
"Could I get apple trees of the de
sired varieties, well trained and grown
in the nurseries, and well taken up, I
should select five-year old tree every
time. I regard such tree as having ac
quired more constitution and vital
strength ; and my experience has been
that they will do better than younger
trees.
"The site and exposure of the orch
ard plot would have its influence in
the distance apart that I would set
fruit trees. With A, northeastern face
or slope, I v'ould set them further
apart than with any other facing.
AVhile engaged in the sale of fruit
trees, my general directions were 'to
set apple trees only twenty feet apart;'
but 1 have seen them doingso well set
much closer that I have been almost
tempted to recommend much closer
planting. It must be borne in mind
that with us fruit trees generally fail
in their bodies first, and when set
closely the tops of ono shape the body
of its neighbor. However, in close
setting, I would set those varieties In
which I had the greatest confidence in
alternate rows each way, and the oth
ers I would set in the intervening
spaces.
' "For the purpose of growing wind
breaks I have thought that it would be
advisable to set the locust and the bass
wood or linden, as I am of the mind
that a fruit grower might advantage
ously pursue bee culture, in which case
one's wind breaks would prove a source
of profit to him thorough his bees. I
think the Fir, Balsam and Norway
Spruce would be good evergreens to
set for wind breaks. The Balsam
grows the fastest."
We heartily endorse all Mr. Fair
banks says, except as to the age of trees
to be planted. Our experience is in
favor of planting young trees, . They
always have larger roots in projortioii
to the top, and having these, you can
make the tops just what you please.
They Buffer less in transplanting, and
at the end of three years will be far
ahead of those six times their size at
time of planting. Making most of
their growth where they are to re
main, thej" soon become stocky and
sturdy, and perfectly adapted to their
soil and climate. They cost less at the
nursery, less for freight, and less to
handle and plant. We believe the
majority of fruit planters and growers
think as we do in this respect.

Lyons, Iowa, Feb. 18, IZZd.
Col. R. W. Furnas.
Dear Sir: Have Just f.nUhed read
ing your artlda cn European Larch.
While I thiak the general tenor of the
article true, yet It may lead parties to
err in the planting and culture of this
noble tree. European Larch Is cot
easily raised from the reed. We find
it the most difficult of any of the de
ciduous or coniferous tree to raise In
the seed bed and our experience is
confirmed by the testimony of all
planters with whom we have con
versed. We have obtained the best
seed possible planted it with great
care and yet in every instance have
failed to see them germinate and grow
in paying quantities. Norway Spruce,
White Pine, Balsam Fir, and in fact
all the coniferous trees hardy enough
for this latitude, planted on same
ground and treated alike, grew finely,
and have. done well. It is probable
that this seed is damaged from expos
ure to air or light in the interval of
time it is taken from the cone in Eu
rope and planted here the following
spring. In order to satisfy ourselves
of this, we shall import next season
the cones of this tree, and not remove
them until they drop out, or just be
fore wanted to plant. The first year
this tree makes a very slow growth.
If transplanted at the end of the year,
it will grow very fast. We have seen
specimens transplanted in one year
that were three feet high at the end of
the third year. From this time on Its
growth Is rapid. The seed can be ob
tained for two dollars per pound in
small quantities, and at lower rates
for larger amounts.
We desire, however, to warn parties
from planting too large a quantity on
the the first trial. It would be better
for farmers to purchase good, stout
trees, two years transplanted from
seed bed, averaging ten to twelve
inches In height, than to grow seed
lings or purchase smaller plants. It
is our desire to see a tree-planting fever
take hold of the farmers, and spread
through tiie entire west; but we, who
have tried these experiments, must
state the facts, and not lead to failures
which M ill dampen the ardor and en
thusiasm evidently at work.
Now, we have no interest in this
matter bej-ond giving our own expe
rience, In the hope that others may be
benefitted, and not rush into an ex
pensive seed planting until our expe
riment has satisfied them they know
how to do it.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient scrvat,
Dr. Jno. E. Enxis.
P. 8. Since writing the above we
have conversed with an English gar
dener, who Informs us he brought over
some cones from Europe, and that the
seed all came up finely, thus substan
tiating our opinion that, this plan
would be successful. j. e, e.
We have written and published a
short article on the subject above re
ferred to, and were governed by the
best lights before us. We are glad to
hear from the Doctor, and publish his
article entire.
Wc arc promised an article on the
subject of growing European Larch in
this country, from" the pen of E. Y.
Teas, Esq., of Richmond, Indiana.
In a private letter he saj's: "I have
visited Europe mainly to investigate
the Larch question."

Dv.au Sirs: Yonrs of the lth I am In receipt of.
In which yon ask it I have any objections to xemling
you, for publication, the facts I am acquainted with,
in relation to the character of the Wctllcr timpe. I
have never indorsed the character or usefulness o.'
vines, or otherarticles of any description, and would
not at my present stage of life were it not for two
reasons which seem sufliclent. F'irst, I know the
Waiter Grajtt will meet the prejudices widespread
throughout the country, caused by the worthlessnea
in moat localitien of many of Its predecessors. Sec
ond, because I can say from personal observation
Dint the Walter H the best variety I have had any
knowledge of, and I think I have cultivated nearly
all that have been recommended, discarding them
ail and falling back nuon the Concord and Hartford
Proline as vineyard varieties. 1 am interested in
knowing that the fruit of the Walter grows larger
esch year as the vine grows older, being last year
fully one-third larger than It was two years ago. It
grows well ; sets iruit well. I hsve seen it riie sev
eral times before Hartford, and I have never seen
any mildew on its fruit or on Its large and thick, hut
Delaware shajed folisge. The flavor of the fruit I
think superior to any other variety. You sav In
your circular It is a seedling or the Delaware'and
Diana; 1 think the character of each of these varie
ties is quite distinguishable In the Walter, particu
larly that of the Delaware. I alsd think it would
make a wine of high character. I have visited it
annually since it first bore, six years ago, three times
in Ulster Co., N. Y, In a low valley, where the Isa
bella seldom ripens, and each time it was fully ripe
In August. I have seen it each of the three past sea
sons in Poifthkeepsie, ripening at the same time,
excepting last year, when the constant rains pre
vented all varieties from maturing at their usual
time, but It perfected Its fruit by the middle of Sep
tember. The raisins of the lost mentioned crop I
have seen and eaten, which were good. From Its
suoceding in the low valley and tenacious clay of
Modeuo, and also In the drv slatey position in
Potitli keepMe, I think It will be well adapted to the
varied sections of our country. Yon may moke
whatever use of these opinions von deem proper.
Yours truly, CKARLiS WOOLKY.

Evergreen Wind Brakes
On our Western Prairies, every enterprising far
mer is fully aware. The following from the Garden
er Monthly is to the ioint :
"We are orten astonished at the great difference
between shelter and exposure. In our own neigh
borhood, as we write. Salvia. Spiendes. Heliotrope,
(ieraniums, &c, are in full bloom in gardens shel
tered br trees on the northwest, while not a hundred
yards from the one in our mind's eye, the same flow

This Tomato is a crwss between a French unknown
variety and the Iesters Perfected, retaining the
smoothness and solidity of the latter, growing in
clusters; each stem bearing from six to twelve to
matoes on it. It is perfectly smooth and nearly
round, about the size of a Baldwin apple ; color of a
rosy pink, and keeps well ; solid, has but few needs,
and is no doubt one of the best early varieties we
have.' It is unexcelled for eating raw, and Is deli
