A summary of the results of the winter on our woody collec- 
tions shows that there were: 
eMedia ol eerie n eee 28 species and varieties. 
Kenlled ito: the oroutidecse: ee 20 species and varieties. 
Severely winter-killed .......... 70 species and varieties. 
Slightly winter-killed ........... 28 species and varieties. 
As many of these were in duplicate or triplicate the disastrous 
effects of the winter were very noticeable during April and May, 
but fortunately recovery of the slightly and severely winter- 
killed species is making fairly rapid progress, so that by mid- 
summer the collections, except in the most stubborn species, will 
be in fair condition. Of course, those killed to the ground are 
practically of no use to us for years to come. It will be noted 
that some species are found in more than one place in the lists. 
This indicates that we have several specimens and that their 
reaction to the winter has varied. It seems better to include them 
in two places rather than arbitrarily assign them to one, which 
might hide the facts. 
In addition to the species listed above, nearly all our box and 
some privet was either killed or so severely winter-killed as to 
need replacement.
