Cannas. 



769. Sir,— Should Cannas be taken in every fall ? 



Iroquois. 

 Reply by Prof. Hutt. 

 Yes. ._ 



Tulip Tree. 



770. Sir, — Do you consider Tulip trees, White Fringe and Red Althaeas sufficiently 

 hardy for Dundas County ? 



Iroqcois. 



Reply by Prof. Hutt. 

 I am inclined to think all of these would prove too tender for Dundas Co. 

 The White Fringe (X^hionanthus Virginius) stands the winter fairly well at 

 Guelph, although it is reported on as tender at Ottawa. 



Hydpang-ea. 



771. Sir, — Does the Hydrangea require to be covered here for winter protection ? 



Iroquois. 

 Reply by Prof Hutt. 



The Hydrangea (Hydrangea paniculata) is fairly hardy here and is reported 

 the same at Ottawa. I would advise you, however, to give it winter protection 

 until you find by experiment that it is not needed.

The fact that Prof. A. A. Crozier; so long the Secretary of the American Pomological 

 Society, edits the pomological department of this Dictionary, is enough to commend it as 

 of especial value to fruit men The word apple alone has three columns devoted to it, 

 giving the names and descriptions of the leading varieties. 



The word Coin has nine columns, giving the names of all known coins, their national 

 equivalent and value in dollars and cents. Our readers who wish to buy the best Dic-
