THE HARDY ORANGE. 
An Orange as hardy as a Lilac must meet with an en- 
thusiastic welcome from all flower lovers. This we have 
i. t !?. ovo extremely curious and beautiful Orange 
which has proved perfectly hardy— without aim protection— 
as far north as New York, Philadelphia and Illinois. Has 
wl ntored safely in the open ground the past two winters in 
Maine and Michigan, and by competent judges is believed 
to bo perfectly bardy in every portion of the United 
states, in the parks of New York and Phil adelphia, and 
in the government grounds at Washlngton.lt has been 
growing, unprotected, for years, where It annually blooms 
and fruits In a most profuse manner. It differs from 
other oranges, In having trifoliate or clover-shaped 
leaves, larger and finer blooms than any other sort, and 
produced oyer a much longer season, frequently bloom- 
ing two and three times during the summer. The fruit 
Is orange red, about the slzo of a Mandarin Orange, and 
makesan excellent marmalade; and the juice, like that 
of the Lemon, affords a refreshing drink. It is a dwarf 
plant, forming a beautiful shrub from four to twelve foot 
high. And the magnificent appearance, on a lawn, of such 
a plant in full bloom, or weighed down by its brilliant 
and no less ornamental fruits, we leave to the imagina- 
tion. Can be grown as a pot or tub plant, and wintered 
in the cellar, or made to bloom In winter. Strong plants.
