48 CHRISTISON—-ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS ON 
94 inches in girth in 1887, this tree had a rate of 272 for six 
years, when it fell for three years to 154, probably from pruning. 
In the last of these years, however, the rate had improved to 21} 
and the tree looked well. It was then transplanted, when the 
rate for three years fell to the excessively low amount ot 2. 
Recovering a rate of 20} in the period 1899-1904, it was again 
transplanted in spring, 1905. The increase for 1905-06 was 
only 34, but the tree is well clothed with healthy foliage in 1906; 
and should now do well.

Six inches in girth in 1887, this laburnum had the probably 
good rate, for so young a tree, of 21 for eight years. Trans- 
planted then, the increase in 1895 was only 32; in 1896 it was 
9; but recovered to 214 in 1897, and a rate of 25 was kept up 
for eight years till 1904, when the tree was again transplanted. 
The rate for 1905-06 was 64, and the tree seems in good 
condition.
