Thenrft, fccond, and fifth Sorts 

 are very common in England j but 

 the third and fourth are in very few 

 Gardens. The third was raifed le- 

 veral Years ago in the Duke of 

 Beaufort's Gardens at Badinington, 

 and is now growing in the Ear] of 

 Pembrook's Gardens, where it thrives 

 very well, and is become a large 

 Tree. 



In the Year 1724 fome frefh 

 Seeds of this Kind were fent over 

 from Carolina, from which I raiied 

 fomc Plants in the Phy/ic Garden, 

 which, alrho' but fmail, fland in 

 the open Ground, and relill the 

 Winter's Cold very well. The 

 fourth Sort is 'now growing in the 

 Bifhop of London's Garden at Ful- 

 ham, and is a very large Tree, pro- 

 ducing ripe Cones almoft every 

 Year ; from whence feveral young 

 # Trees have been raifed by feverai 

 Nurfery-Men near JLondan. The

Leaves of this Tree are commonly 

 three, produced trom each Sheath; 

 and the Cones grow in great Cluf^ 

 ters. On a Branch, which was 

 taken from the old Tree, I counted 

 39 Cones in one Bunch. 



The fixth Sort is very proper to 

 continue Plantations of thefe ever- 

 green Trees, when it may io happen, 

 that a moid fwampySoil may inter- 

 vene (as it many times doth) be- 

 tween rifing Ground, and in which 

 Parr we could not carry either the 

 Avenue or other Plantation on with 

 Trees of the fame Kind, all the 

 other Sorts being, for the mofl Part, 

 mountainous Plants ; £0 that here 

 is an Advantage, which could not 

 be other ways obtained, rhat fliould 

 encourage Gentlemen to cultivate 

 as many of the foreign Trees, as can 

 be by any means naturalized to our 

 Climate, tho' the Ufes of them are 

 not immediately known i for it is 

 certain that Time will difcover 

 Something, either for Ufe, or Beau- 

 ty, in moft of them. 



Belide thefe, JVIr. B.ay, in his valu* 

 able Hijlory of Plants, hath menti- 

 oned ieven or eight other Species: 

 But as there are at prefcnt fcarcely 

 any of them in England (and if they 

 were brought hither by curious Per- 

 fons, their Culture would nearly 

 agree with thofe above menti- 

 oned ) ; the only Difference to be 

 obferved is, to flielter fuch as come 

 from warmer Climates for the two 

 or three firft Years, after v/hich 

 Time I am perfuaded moll of the 

 refmous Trees will do well with us 

 abroad ; therefore I fhall forbear 

 mentioning any more Sorts, refer- 

 ring the curious Reader to the valu- 

 able Book before cited. 



Thefe Trees ^re all raifed from 



Seeds taken out of their polyfper- 



mous Cones. The way to get out 



the Seeds is, either by cxpoling the
