A LIST OP HARDY, HALF HARDY AND TENDER TREES. 



As many enquiiics are received from poi-sons conlemplating tree-planting, 

 regarding different trees and shrubs, it is thought advisable to give a classified list, 

 60 as to show as near as can be given with present experience the relative hardiness 

 of the trees and shrubs under trial here since 1889. 



A large quantity of native tree seeds were collected, and a part of them sown in 

 the fall of 1890. Seeds of the native maple and ash germinated early in spring, but 

 the seedlings were all killed by the spring frosts and cold winds.
