 Tall, ornamental trees, and well adapted for avenues ; 

 only hardy in S. Calif, and in the Gulf states, except 

 ('. SineiLsis. The wood of some species is known as 

 cedar wood, and much valued for making furniture and 

 boxes. They thrive best in rich loam, and are prop, by 

 seeds or by cuttings of mature wood, and, also, by root- 

 cuttings, all with bottom heat.
