CONIFERS AND SOILS.

The larch does nowhere better or is more free from disease 

 than when growing in peaty soil, while Psnedotsuga Douglasiiy 

 Picea sitchensis and Abies Pichia, as also Cryptomeria japonica 

 and Sequoia sempervirens are all at home on deep peat bog. 

 The following is a list of the most suitable : — 



Abies bracteata 

 „ concolor 

 „ nobilis 

 „ Nordmanniana 

 Cedrus Deodara 

 Cryptomeria japonica 

 Cupressus Goveniana 

 „ Lawsoniana 



„ and varieties, 

 ,, macrocarpa 



Juniperus chinensis 



„ recurva 

 Larix europaea 

 „ Kaempferi 



Cephalotaxus drupacea 

 „ Fortunei 



„ pedunculata 



Fitzroya patagonica 

 Pinus excelsa 



„ Bungeana 



„ Laricio austriaca 



„ pyrenaica 



„ silvestris 

 Sequoia sempervirens 

 Taxus baccata 

 Thuya gigantea 



„ occidentalis 



CLAYEY. 



For planting in stiff, clayey soils I have found Cryptomeria 

 japonica and its variety elegans, Thuya gigantea and T. occi- 

 dentalis, to be by far the most useful ; while where ironstone 

 or coal are present, nothing excels Cupressus Lazvsoiiiaiia, 

 Juniperus coinviunis, Larix europcea, Pinus Cembra, and P. 

 montana.
