Observations — Many shrubs kd. to the grd. during the preceding 

 winter had put up fresh shoots, which never matured their wood ; 

 and these have been again destroyed. Bulbs do not appear to have 

 suffered much. The superior hardiness of the Caucasian Laurel is 

 very marked. The common Laurel is again kd. to the grd., as it 

 was last year. Laurel, only half way down. The Caucasian Lau- 

 rel is scarcely touched. Laumstinus, one or two survivors of last 

 year appear to be quite killed. All the out-door Fruit trees appear 

 to be uninjured, and show well for this year's crop.
