Art. VI. Report on the Effects of the Winter of 183*7-8 on the Exotic 

 Trees and Shrubs in the Kilkenny Nursery, and in that Neighbour- 

 hood generally. By John Robertson, F.H.S., &c. 



Meeting your wish to procure reports on the effects produced 

 by last winter's frosts amongst our exotics, I forward you some 

 memoranda I had made on the subject in this neighbourhood. 

 The old half-hardy shrubs, in the open air, such as alaternus, 

 laurustinus, &c., received not the slightest injury under any 

 circumstances ; neither were the following, of more recent intro- 

 duction, hurt : — 



Neiv or valuable Plants, in the open Ground, which stood uninjured.
