KEPOET OF THE COMMITTEE. 163 



same. Mr. Hunnewell's experience is the same as Mr. Rand's, with 

 the following remarkable exceptions ; — 



Hardy Azaleas. — Flower-buds mostly killed, and in a few cases 



some of the wood. 

 Kalmia. — latifoUa. None of the plants in two large beds at all 

 injured. Some transplanted in 1870 in an exposed 

 situation on the lake, were badly cut up. 

 Abies. — Only three or four Hemlocks of my whole collection 

 killed, and those in cases where they had evidently 

 suffered from drought. Not a plant in two hedges is 

 injured. Of the dwarf spruces not one injured. 

 PiCEA. — cephalonica. Of some dozen specimens from 2 to 15 feet 

 high in all exposures, not one injured. 

 nohilis. All killed. I have one in a sheltered spot 



which was not at all injured. 

 Pinsapo. All killed. Among them two very fine 

 specimens, 5 or 6 feet high, 

 JuNiPERUs. — pendula. Not at all injured where sheltered. 

 Thuja. — I do not think one on the place was killed, either single 



plants or in hedges. 

 Thujopsis. — dolabrata. Not a bit browned where shaded. Some 



exposed to sun and northwest wind, injured. 

 Acer, — Negundo. Not injured. Same of the variegated. 

 Magnolia Lenne. — Not injured. 

 Hollies. — The largest plants were killed to the ground, but the 



smaller ones cut back have started again, 

 Privet. — Hedge not at all injured.
