Observations — In the higher and most exposed parts of the gar- 

 den we have in a large bed devoted to Coniferse, two trees of 

 Araucaria imbricata, 60 yards apart, 8 years old. Both continued 

 in good health till the last two winters. The one at the W. end 

 of the bed was somewhat sheltered by trees and suffered most ; 

 the other being more exposed suffered but little. Elsewhere are 

 two others, 20 yards apart, one is quite dead, the other slightly 

 injured, both being much exposed. There are elsewhere other two 

 plants, both much sheltered by large trees, and both are killed. 

 The living plants have their roots nearest to the surface, and the 

 junction of the stem with the roots well above ground ; while those 

 planted deepest are those which succumbed first. The deeper the 

 roots are the more succulent and tender are they ; and the frost
