General Eemarks. — Conifers, as a rule, thrive well in sheltered places in 

 the County of Kerry. The specimens of which the details are given above are 

 among the finest in the neighbourhood. Many other species are planted and 

 thriving well, but they are yet too young to record their dimensions as being of 

 special interest.
