tain, and is certainly very rare in gardens, but at Trebah there is Pin us 



a healthy specimen, seven feet in height, which has been out for Montezumse 



six years, and which was but slightly injured by the late winter. anc [ 



The Mexican Pinus Mont exuviae is one of the loveliest of 

 all conifers. It is hardy in the south-west, but is practically 

 unknown, its rarity being demonstrated by the fact that no 

 mention of it occurs in the last sixty volumes of " The Garden." 

 There is a fine and very beautiful specimen at Tregothnan. 



Euonymus Jlmbriatus is seldom met with, but is very 

 effective in the spring, when the young leaves terminating the 

 shoots are bright crimson in colour, and give the tree the appear- 

 ance of being in flower. Eucalypti are to be found in many 

 Cornish gardens, but the finest collection is at Menabilly, the 

 late Mr Johnathan Rashleigh taking a great interest in these 

 trees, the foliage of which is very tender in colouring, and shows 

 considerable variation in the different species. In these gardens 

 Eucalyptus coccifera, thirty years old, is seventy feet in height ; 

 E. Gunni, sixty feet ; JE. cor data, eighteen years old, sixty feet ; 

 and E. urnigera, of the same age, eighty feet. E. coccifera, 

 E. cor data, and E. Gunni have been raised from home-grown 

 seed. Of the younger trees, that have only been planted a few 

 years, E. quadrangularis, E. saligna, E. Beauchampiana, E. 

 pulverulenta, E. viminalis, E. goniocalyx, E. obliqua, E. rublda, 

 E. resinifcra, and E. Cambagei have attained heights varying 

 from fifteen to thirty feet. These Eucalypti are planted in 

 large groups on sloping ground, surrounded by other trees, 

 their blue-grey foliage contrasting charmingly with the deep 

 green of the adjacent woodland. There is an example of the 

 scented-leaved E. citriodora trained against the house at Tre- 

 gothnan. The Blue Gum, E. globulus, is fairly common, and
