Hardy Orange (Millyard). 
The Orange that is the most nearly hardy in this country is 
Citrus trifoliata, which is hardy in all the more favoured parts 
of England as far north as the latitude of London at least 
This is sometimes used as a stock for the fruiting Oranges, but 
it would not make them any more hardy than they are at present 
as far as the top of the tree is concerned. If the soil was m 
any way uncongenial, the roots of C. trifoliata would peihaps 
enable the stocks worked upon them to tide over fell™ V 
but as far as atmosphere is concerned it would not help the 
trees much. 
Early Garden Potatoes (S. M. D.). 
4 very early variety is Sharpe’s Victor, which, however, is not 
of J,7w size. Slightly late, is Sutton's H »rb.nget and 
Ringleader which have tubers of a respectable S1Z 
Ashleaf and several other strains of Ashleaf mate useful varieties 
when you can obtain them tine. Most oi the above are, how- 
ever, easily obtainable.

^Cardief Fruit Imports. —-Messrs. Morgan and Biermann, fruit 
importers, Cardiff, held another sale on the 17th ult. on a much 
larger scale than the one held previously. Besides Valencia 
Oranges and Onions there was a large quantity of ^u^h (Ranges 
sold as well as Valencia Dates and Figs. In all, between 4,000 
and 5,000 packages were disposed of at prices which weie m 
favour of buyers, many of whom managed to get good bargains. 
The steamer “ Demotion” left Valencia last Saturday with a still 
larger shipment of Oranges and Onions, and m this cargo there 
will be some of the crack brands of the packers in the Burrma 
and Denia districts, so -that the next sale will be of special 
interest. 
Horticultural Instruction at Kirkmichael. —The first of a 
series of lectures on “Horticulture,” under the auspices of the 
School Board, was delivered in the Schoolroom on Wednesday, 
the 25th ult., by Mr. William Williamson. 
Which is the Queen’s Favourite Flower ?—So much has 
from time to time been written about the Queen's partiality for 
various flowers, that it may be of interest to mention the fact 
that on her return to town from Windsor she wore, tucked into 
her sables, a great knot of scarlet Pelargoniums. 
Importation op Nursery Stock into British Columbia.— 
The “ Canada Gazette ” of January 31st contains an Order in
