The Angimta Rose is not hardy, consequently Morthlews 

 as a hardy climber. The best hardy Climbing Eoses are— 

 Beauty, or Queen of (lie Prairies, Baltimore Belle, Mrs.

Can the Bittf.h Kot ix Ai'I'lks be Prevented? — 

 J. Y., of Port Ilciiublic, Va., wishes to learn if the bitter 

 rot in a])ples can be prevented. The malady is quite 

 troublesome in that region. Without having any special 

 knowledge on the sulnect, we suspect that detects in the 

 soil have much to do in producing the premature decay 

 called bitter rot, although parasitic fungi may participate 

 in working mischief. Trees duly pruned, and not allowed 

 to boar more than a moderate number of ap[)Ies, ainl 

 projierly manured, will be likely to yield sound IViiit. AVe 

 shall be glad to hear from any gentleman v>ho has had 

 experience in the disorder referred to.
