The hardy species of eucalyptus of the newer sorts are E. alpina, 

 E. acerbula, E. leucoxylon, and the superb E. Foeld-Bay, seed of which 

 was received from Vilmorin in 1895. This last named is by far the 

 best of all the new eucalypts. Planted out in 1896, when quite small, 

 it girths 31 inches in 1902, and bids fair to outgrow both E. rostrata and 

 E. viminalis. 



Acacias. The well-known A. decurrens, which suffered much from 

 frost here while small, has made large trees at last, several being now 

 53 feet high, with trunks that girth nearly 5 feet. A. melanoxylon has 

 never suffered seriously from frost.
