50 CHRISTISON—ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS ON 
A little larger than the last in 1887, this ash had a much 
better rate for five years. Transplanted in 1892, the rate fell to 
7 for two years. A sudden rise to 26? proclaimed a complete 
recovery in the following year, and a rate of 31 gave good promise 
for the future. But, unfortunately, it was retransplanted, and 
after struggling feebly with a rate of 54 for four years it was cut 
down.

_ tree was then transplanted, and, although always looking well, 
the rate for the last five years has been only 5° ; for the first 
two of them it was almost nil, but in 1906 it had improved to 11}-
