Mr. Moyer: The buckthorn makes a very good protection.
Mr. Maher: Yes, sir.
Mr. Huestis: How would the golden elder do as a hedge?
Mr. Maher: It would be a protection, but it is liable to spread too much.
Mr. Huestis: Do you know whether the mulberry is hardy in Minnesota or not?
Mr. Maher: I think from here south it is hardy, especially southeast.
Mr. Moyer: It occurs to me that the Tartarian honeysuckle is about as good as any thing you can plant for birds. It is perfectly hardy on the prairies and grows up ten or fifteen feet high.
Mr. Maher: The Tartarian honeysuckle and several varieties of the bush honeysuckles are splendid, and they are hardy and will grow anywhere.
A Member: Did I understand some one to say that the mulberry was not hardy?
Mr. Maher: It was stated that it wasn't hardy in North Dakota.
