of thefe trees, which, if fufFered to fland, grow to a 

 ' large fize -jbut in Switzerland they are frequently cut

 Mrgr6ws fd a Targe fize V" the branches exferid btf every 



fide to a confidcrable diftance, and while the trees are 



young, they are fully garnilhed with leaves, efpecially 

 where they are not fo clofe as to exclude the air from 

 thofe within j but as they advance in age, the branches 

 appear naked, and all thofe whij:h are fituated be- 

 low become unfightly after years, for which reafon 

 they TTave not been much in efleem of late ; For as' the 

 ■wood of the Scotch Fir is much preferable *to \his, 

 ^.^and^the branches being generaUy better garnilhed with 

 ^V leaves, fo the latter has been moregenerally propagated 

 thanlRe former; The branches of this'fort grow at a

feeds 6F a Pine from' China, which were taken ou¥ of 



.the cones fo like thofe of this fort, as not to be dif- 



tinguilhed from them V but thefe have never grown, 



•■i either by' their being too old, or from their having 



been* taken out of the dohes * for if the feeds of Pifics
