our private collection of conifers. It had been a pleasant under- 

 taking and we felt, as we rode away, that we had been fully 

 repaid for the effort and time which we had spent on it. 



Three months after being transplanted, these specimens, 

 with the exception of four or five, appear to be in good health. 

 They seem to prefer a peaty soil and undoubtedly they thrive 

 best in a shady or partially shaded location.
