Observations — A curious result of last -winter is the manner in 

 which one out of a group of plants of the same species and growing 

 under apparently similar circumstances was killed, while the others 

 remained uninjured. This was especially the case with Coniferae. 

 The more exposed plants were frequently the least injured.
