A few general statements in addition to the above table will help 

 to make plain the comparative hardiness of the different groups of cul- 

 tivated plvims. The Nigras may be rated as the hardiest of the plums 

 to be considered though the Americanas are but slightly less hardy. The 

 plums of these species are the hardiest of oiu" tree -fruits and are able to 

 resist nearly as much cold as any other cultivated plant. The Insititias, 

 as represented by the Damsons, at least, come next hardiest after the above 

 species, with varieties of Domestica, as Arctic, Lombard and Voronesh,
