The following note which I communicated to the Philadelphia Press, last 

 sprinor, may possess some value: — 



"During last winter the thermometer recorded temperatures ranging 

 from 25° to 33° below zero, and we had an opportunity to observe the hardi- 

 ness of the different varieties of grapes in the college vineyard. The vines 

 were pruned in the fall. Here are some transcriptions from my note-book: 

 Barry, Brant, and Goethe, uninjured; Worden in most cases unscathed; 

 Concord canes are killed back half their length, but the young shoots are 

 strong. Cottage, Merrimac, and Black Hawk, very slightly injured. Aga- 

 wam (Rogers 15), cut back a little, but new shoots very vigorous. Rebecca 

 and Rogers 5 j^artially killed. Ives, Massasoit, Perkins, Martha, Norton's 

 Virginia, Lady, and Haskell's Hybrids, Nos. 36, 340, 324, 343, and 348 

 killed to the ground. Champion, Wilder (Rogers 4) Taylor's Bullit, and 

 Creveling nearly as bad. Clinton canes killed back a foot or two, Hartford 

 half their length, Delaware ditto, and Seneca cut at the tips but vines vigor- 

 ous. Isabella vines are all injured and often killed to the root. Many of 

 the tenderer vines, like Creveling and Norton's Virginia, which had been 

 laid down, came through unscathed and are pushing new shoots with great 

 vigor."
