A considerable number of seedlings and little known varieties of apples 
have been looked up and reported to the State Horticultural Society, but we 
have not had opportunity to observe their condition since passing through the 
last hard winter. 
MINNESOTA. 
REPORT BY WYMAN ELLIOTT, MINNEAPOLIS. 
1. The southern and central portions are best adapted for fruit culture, 
and the interest is there most extensive. 
2. Heavy clay soils on high elevations. 
3. Orchard land is worth thirty to one hundred and fifty dollars per acre, 
while bearing orchards bring two hundred to two hundred and fifty dollars. 
4. Clean cultivation is best adapted for dry and arid regions. Vine crops. 
5. Winter rye and late sown oats. Retain the snow as a protection. 
6. Barnyard manure as a fall mulch is profitable. 
7. Many new seedlings are being tested with great promise. 
8. The forest tent caterpillar and apple gouger are the most troublesome 
insects and for the former collecting the eggs and destroying the nests have 
been found most practical. 
9. Frequent rains obviate the necessity, if good cultivation is given. 
12. The past winter has destroyed many of the half hardy and tender 
varieties. The hardiest apples are Oldenburg, Hibernal, Wealthy and 
Malinda, and are hardy in the order named.
