REPORT OF THE DIRECTOR. 47 



of Ottawa uninjured, those marked half hardy have commonly had their wood partly 

 killed, while those marked tender are usually killed back to the snow line. Some of 

 these trees and shrubs have been planted for 5 or 6 years, while others have only 

 been under test for two or three seasons. Nearly all have made satisfactory growth, 

 and these plantations are already attracting much attention from visitors.
