None of these, as horticultural subjects, could be relied upon, 
judging by the experience of last winter, as after a few seasons’ 
growth, and just as they are about to become handsome speci- 
mens, an exceptional winter would cut them back to the roots. 
In nearly the same category, so far as reliability of continued 
growth is concerned, is the following list. In all of these the 
winter-killing, while not down to the ground, has been very severe, 
sometimes the loss representing the growth for three or more 
years. All of them are alive and doing well, but there are great 
gaps in many of them, and in most the winter-killed wood is in 
unsightly contrast to the young growth just starting. In many 
of these the recovery will take from one to three years, and in the 
conifers many of the plants will never make perfect specimens 
again.
