It is hoped that the foregoing data, incomplete though they 

 are in many ways, will furnish an indication of what may be 

 expected from planting under adverse weather conditions and 

 on similar sites. The application of the data to the details of 

 such a planting operation is obvious. The facts in the cases of 

 these plantations may also be of use in determining the causes, 

 exclusive of careful work or the opposite, of some successes or 

 failures.
