These cypresses were fairly handsome and grew at a 
rather 
increasing rate, averaging rather more than half an inch for the 
eight years, and above three-quarters of an inch for the last three, 
when, being badly injured by frost, they were cut down.

The larger of the two, standing close together, had much the 
better rate. 
Both were handsome, when they suddenly failed 
in 1894, ceased to increase for the next two years, and were cut 
down in 1897.

The results in these are little reliable. Nos. 
15, 
90, became 
scraggy and were cut down as not worth transplantation, and 
No. 14, four years after transplantation, has scarcely added to its 
girth and looks unhealthy.
