I HAVE feen Silver Firs of fixty years 

 old that were almoft a hundred feet high, 

 and thick in proportion. The foil was

THE Pinafter is not much different in its 

 appearance, at a diftance, from the Scotch 

 Fir, and while young they feem to be 

 much the fame ; but as there is no plan- 

 tation of them old enough to try the good- 

 nefs of the wood, it cannot be determined

 Scotch Fir ; it is equally hardy, and will 

 thrive in the fame foils and fituations, and 

 may be planted round the ikirts of planta- 

 tions to melter other trees.
