PINES.

quantity used, the heavier and the better- 

 flavoured the pine will be. 



Pines (Conifers.) 



First among the conifers, let us take the 

 genus Pinus. It is hardly possible to do 

 justice to the rich variety which is here 

 included. There are pines adapted to 

 every soil and every situation ; also for 

 every purpose of ornament and profit. 

 What more commanding than a fine 

 specimen of Pinus excelsa ? Then there 

 are P. Devoniana, the Uuke of Devon- 

 shire's pine, P. insignis, and very many 

 others. Nor must the magnificent Welling- 

 tonia gigantea be omitted, which is certainly 

 a pine, and the noblest and hardiest of 

 pines ; nor Arauearia imbricata t the 

 Chilian pine, a very distinct variety.

Pinetlim, Conifers for. 



In the pinetum, if space permits, plant 

 any and every pine that will endure 

 the climate of that part of the United 

 Kingdom in which it is situated. If 

 space is limited, and economy to be 

 studied, the following will probably suit, 

 or a selection may be made from them. 

 The names of the trees are alphabetically 

 arranged, according to genus, and except 

 in cases where there is room for doubt, the 

 general limits of height are given, and the 

 name by which each tree is known when it 

 possesses a common name, as well as its 

 botanical name.

It must not be supposed for a moment 

 that the above is an exhaustive list of the 

 various trees that are comprised under each 

 genus. On the contrary, many more will 

 be found under each head in Johnson's 

 " Cottage Gardener's Dictionary " and 

 similar works. It is only sought here to 

 give the names of a few specimens that 

 are possessed o< peculiar excellence in one
