General Remarks. — Conifers generally thrive well here, and most of them 

 are growing vigorously; especially AMes Doufflagli, A. grandis, A. Nordman- 

 niana, and Thuya gigantea. The Araucaria, Cedars, and Cypresses, as well as the 

 Cryptomerias and Wellingtonia, are thriving well, in sheltered places in the 

 grounds and woods.
