 the pink flowering variety, the seeds quite sound and 

 of vigorous growth, and this season has made wood 

 freely. 



No. 2, the second largest tree, girths 2 1 feet 4 inches 

 at base, 12 feet loj inches above the swell of the 

 roots, and 12 feet 6 inches at five feet up, and contains 

 about 300 cubic feet. On the south side at the base 

 there is a remarkable protuberance, the result of having

 timber is of better quality than No. i, the branches 

 being smaller. It is of the light-coloured flowering 

 variety, bears sound seed, and is making wood rapidly. 



jSTo. 3 is next in size, measures 14 feet 10 inches 

 at base, and 1 1 feet 6 inches above the swell of the 

 roots. This is also a great tree and the wood of fair 

 quality. It is of the light flowering variety, bears sound 

 seed, and contains about 270 cubic feet of timber. 



No. 4 is the smallest of the four; it girths 12 

 feet 5 J inches at base, and 9 feet 10 J inches at three

 somewhat deficient in branches, the timber conse-

 flowering variety, bearing cones and seed of sound 

 quality. 



They are all between 93 and 103 feet in height, in 

 excellent health, and making wood rapidly. They

 what once was the side of a garden or shrubbery fence,
