264 THE LARCH. 



We consider that, except where foresters plant 

 one year's seedlings, this is almost exclusively a nur- 

 seryman's question, for being transplanted for two 

 years, we never have any loss from frost in the case 

 of either, and we could not after that detect any differ- 

 ence between the two. It is possible that the Tyrolese 

 seedlings after two years' acclimatisation lose the habit 

 of starting into growth quite so early in spring. 

 (Dicksons & Co., Edinburgh.) 



The only difference between home and foreign plants 

 with us is the liability of the latter to be cut down by 

 early frosts. (Thomas Kennedy & Co., Dumfries.)
