THE PINE IS OFTEN PLANTED NEAR A TEMPLE 
‘his specimen stands in the ground of Tan Chao Ssu, a famous temple in the mountains west 
of Peking. With the brilliant white bark and clear green foliage among the yellow and 
green tile roofs, all against the dark green of juniper and oak-clad hills, it is a sight not 
oon to be forgotten. This is the finest specimen seen among several hundreds in the 
vicinity of Peking. Photograph by D. F. Higgins. (Fig. 6.)
