berries of the Bermudas cedar from thence, and raifed trees from them in Carolina, where the 
_ trees became more like in appearance to the Carolina cedar trees than to thofe of Bermudas; 
therefore it is not to be wondered that fuch-like changes appear in England, where the {oil 
and climate differ vaftly from thofe parts of America where cedars grow. 
The feeds of this tree may be raifed in the common earth, giving them fome protection in 
the winter if it fhould be fharp ; though better fuccefs may be expected if fown in a hot bed, 
particularly thofe from Bermudas and the more fouthern parts of the continent.

Sow the feeds of this tree in the fpring in boxes or pans of earth, for the convenience of 
| ‘Temoving them to a warm afpeét when the rigour of the weather requires it, keeping them 
moderately moift till the next fpring; then give them the gentle heat of a hot bed, and at 
their appearing above ground give them frequent waterings, and harden them gradually againft 
the approach of winter: if the cold fhould prove exceflive, give them fome fmall proteétion, 
and in the {pring plant them out with as much mould fticking to their roots as can be. Except 
the Diffideus American cyprefs, this is the only fpecies of cyprefs that has been found in North . 
America: it retains the leaves the year round. Thefe trees grow in Carolina, Virginia, Mary- 
land, and Pennfylvania, and only in the upper parts of thofe countries; and is accounted 
excellent timber : they grow to large and lofty trees.

The principal difference between his and the Arbor Jude of Europe is, that the leaf of this 
is t-pointed, and the plant lefs capable of enduring cold than that of Europe.
