The mammoth tree f WeUingto^iia (/igantea, Lindl.) does not delightin our climate, although growing tolerably well the first years; butlater on it ceases to grow and dies slowly, although the CalifornianRedwood fSequoia sempervi^-ens, Endl.) grows well. The Canadian pine (Pinus Canadctisis, Willd.) also is a very quick-growing pine with us. Very few of the so handsome Himalayan conifers prosper in theplains, especially siich as appear at an elevation of 6ft. to 8,0()0ft., viz. :—The Indian Spruce Fir (Abies Stnithiana, Loud.), the Indian HemlockSpruce (Abies Brunoniana, Lindl.\ Menzies Spruce Fir (Abies Menziesii,Loud.), the lofty Bhotan Pine (Pinus excelsa.

Still more doubtful is the existence of the Japanese and Chineseconifers. None will prosper luxuriantly out of doors with us. All thespecies of the following genera, viz. :—Thuyopsis, Retinosjoora, Chamne-cyparis, Cryptomeria^ Cunninghamia, are of a stunted and lingeringgrowth, and much injured by hot Avinds and droughts. The remarkableumbrella pine fSciadopitys verticillata, Siebold) can scarcely be kej^talive indoors. None of the Taxus species, may they be natives of Europe, America,Asia, or India, thrive in the plains, but show a lingering and stuntedgrowth. It is the same with the South American Araucarias, viz., A.imbricata, Pav., and Brasiliana, Lamb. Although some of the Junipers bec
