BY GEO. J. KELLOGG, OF JANESVILLE, WIS. ‘ 
A. G. Hanford, Esq. : 
Dear Sir :—Circumstances making it impossible to meet 
with you, I suggest a few thoughts for inquiry. We must seek 
for fruit trees that will pass unscathed at a temperature of 50° 
below zero. January, 1856, will long be remembered as our 
first severe lesson ; and, although better prepared for it, yet 
we shall not soon forget January, 1860. 
Long have we been propagating too many varieties of tho 
Apple. What shall we grow? We should choose, 
1st. Hardiness ; 
2d. Productiveness ; 
3d. Quality. 
I have found, by experience and observation, that there is 
hope in the following varieties : 
Ped Astrachan , 
Early Harvest,* 
William's Favorite , 
Cal. Red J une, 
Hightop Sweet, 
Keswick Codlin , 
Fameusc , 
Duchess of Oldenburg,* 
St. Lawrence , 
Fall Queen, 
Wine Sap. 
Fulton, 
Yellow Belle-Flower, 
Jonathan, , 
T aim an Sweet,* 
Pomme Grise , 
White Winter P ear main, 
Domine,* 
Fng. Golden Russet , 
Rawle's Janet , 
Red Romanite , 
*Little tender.
