Titus received a seedling pr'ze at Chiswick, June, 1844;

 Glenny, in Gardeners' Gazette June 22, 1844, says,' speaking 

 of the Geraniums at the Chiswick Fete—" Mr. Hoyle had by 

 far the best lot there j Pompey was the best of them, and Titus 

 next." Blooms of the others were likewise exhibited at the 

 June Fete, Chiswick, 1844, and attracted very extraordinary 

 attention, and were universally admired. On the whole, the 

 above varieties, tor substance, roundness of form, aud general 

 excellent qualities, are among the best ever offered to floricul-

TRUE HIGHLAND PINE. 



JAMES GRIGOU, Xlr*erymas% Norwich, begs to 

 call the attention of the Land Proprietors of England to 

 this very desirable variety of Pinus sylvcstr arblch has been 

 raised frvm seeds collected on the mountains of Strathspey, and 

 of which he has strong plants ready to be sent out For intro- 

 ducing this tree Messrs. Gricoh, of Forres and Elgin, were 

 •warded several premiums by the Highland and Agricultural 

 Society of Scotland; and in that part of the country this Pine 

 is racidly superseding the common soft- wooded variety. For 

 all economical purposes its chief merit consists in the hardness 

 and durability of its wood ; hence it is much sought after at 

 present for railway sleepers. PictoriaHy considered, or as a 

 landscape ornament, it rivals even the Cedar of Lebanon. Sir 

 Walter Scott describes it as assuming much of M the bold and 

 contorted figure of the Oak ;" and in the la>t No. of the Quar- 

 terly Review it is recommended as a fit tree to be planted in 

 churchyards and cemeteries.
