"H. H. C. B.," Eureka, Wis., asks: "Is the Nemaha any hardier than the Gregg raspberry? I lose very much in the latter and I think this winter will not prove an exceptional one. The mercury on this river (Fox, Winnebago county) has dropped to 430 below".

[The Gregg is naturally as hardy as any of its class, but under cultivation, the hardiest kinds get their vital powers ultimately impaired. As a general rule, therefore, the newest introduced kinds will be found the hardiest. - Ed. G. M].
