CI.— ON THE GROWTH, IN 18G2, OF 



NEWLY-INTRODUCED CONIFER.E. 



By Wiluam TliLEBt, Gardenev to ile Ditke of Portland, WeJlech 



The season of 18G2 having been favourable for the growth of 

 the newly-introduced hardy Coiiiferfe, I have been induced to 

 measure the length of the shoots made by each variety in a large 

 collection planted out here. As the only way of getting a correct 

 notion of the length of the shoots made in a season is to take 

 them from young trees gro\ving in the same soil and situation, 

 and of nearly the same age, I have carefully attended to this, and 

 I hope, therefore, the follo\ving list may he of interest to in- 

 tending planters. The measurement of the shoots made is from 

 the most vigorous-growing trees of each variety.
