CONIFERS AND SOILS.

The larch does nowhere better or is more free from disease 

 than when growing in peaty soil, while Psuedotsuga Douglasiiy 

 Picea sitcheiisis and Abies Pichta^ 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 europsea 

 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 Lawsoniana^ 

 Juniperus communis, Larix europcea^ Pinus Cembra^ and P, 

 montana.
