Larch blown down at Glamis, Forfarshire, 1879. Piings 

 counted at 2 feet 4 inches up, above the basic swelling, by 

 the Eev. Dr. Stevenson and Sir E. Christison. 



Larch at H,ewell Grange, Worcester (Conifer Conference 

 Statistics, 1891). 



The indubitable rate of above 2 inches in young larches 

 at J>alswinton, and of about I4- inch for the long period of 

 160 years in tlie Dunkeld and Monzie trees, confirms the 

 accuracy of other large results, and proves that the species 

 is a rjuick grower under favourable circumstances. The 

 four planted in " stubbed " ground at Dalswinton grew 

 more than twice as fast as others close to them planted in 

 undisturbed ground.
