mON-CLAD TREES AND SHRUBS. 



The cut and dried phrase, "hardy as 

 an oak, ' ' must be eliminated from mod- 

 ern sayings and "as hardy as a lilac" 

 substituted. Prof. Wm. Saunders, di- 

 rector of the Central Experimental 

 Farms, Ottawa, Canada, and his co-labor- 

 ers at Brandon and at Indian Head, in 

 the Canadian northwest, have been test- 

 ing for the past sixteen years the hard- 

 iness of all trees and shrubs of econ- 

 omic and ornamental A'aluc. In a re- 

 cent bulletin the results to date are 

 given, and it is with pleasure that we 

 find many friends of our more temper- 

 ate zone among the list that stood the 

 test, in it being the lilac in many varie- 

 ties and species, while the oak is lim- 

 ited to one species, Quercus macrocarpa, 

 the massy cud oak. 



In Manitoba and the territories where 

 these tests were made, the snow covering 

 averages during the winter from one to 

 two feet in depth, which acts as a pro- 

 tecting blanket of much value. At Bran- 

 don, in ordinary winters, the thermom- 

 eter runs from 40 to 45 degrees below 

 zero, and often continues as low for sev- 

 eral weeks and at Indian Head from .50 

 to 52 degrees below is sometimes reached. 

 Any plant standing for successive years 

 the degrees of frost here given may 

 justly be called an iron-clad and be safe- 

 ly used by planters in the United States 

 in exposed situations. 



It must be borne in mind, however, 

 that a foot or more of snow over the 

 roots is of untold value in protecting 

 them. The main loss in treea and 

 shrubs in the United States during the 

 cold winter of 1898-9 was at the roots, 

 not the tops. Strawy manure is a good 

 substitute for a blanket of snow, and 

 acts as an additional protection where 

 snow exists. 



All varieties mentioned in this list 

 proved . reasonably hardy. A few were 

 damaged a little at the tops in some 

 winters, but not enough to effect them 

 to any extent. It may be taken for 

 granted that almost any tree, shrub, or 

 vine ordinarily in commercial nurseries, 



possessing a reasonable degree of hardi- 

 ness, not found here, was tried and 

 proved tender. Some trees, including the 

 maples, were hardy if grown from seed 

 ripened in the Northwest Territories, 

 otherwise not. Those that stood the 

 test were:
