THE HARDNESS OF TREES.
Depends . Coed Deal Upon the CHI
nate 20 which Fhsy Have BE-
e0me Aeeustomed,

An expert nurseryman says the hardi-
ness or non-hardiness Of trees depends
largely upon where the seeds from
which the trees In question sprang came
from Satisfactory results are seldom
experienced BY planting q seed obtained
from the sunny south, say. BY planting
seeds gradually further north, however,
trees may Be at length hardened and &C
elimstsd until q seed from such q tree
may be reasonably expected 20 thrive
and nature fits fruits.
Trses, Ike people, says the Philadel-
phia Record, acquire their habits from
the climate In which they live. The
northern tree knows instinctiYely when
the time has come TO ripen its fruits
The southern tree follows the same In
sttnet, being IN no hurry, a. there Is lit
tie likelihood Of real cold. With trans
paintings further north It's habit
changes.
The great trouble with most people Is
that they want 70 jump q tree from
south 70 north at one move. This same
idea is evident IN the attempt to bring
various fruit trees from Russia 70 the
northern United States.
Apples and plums from the land Of
the great white car have taken kindly
