p. canadensis bears a great resemblance to the common Yew, but it is less stifF in its habit and 

 therefore mneh handsomer. The tmnl acquires large dimensions in its native country but this species 

 has not been cultivated long enough to arrive at any great size in England. The cones are oval, pointed 

 and about the size of a common hazel nut. ' l ^ 



This species is not so often met with as might be expected, but I have frequently seen it in the 

 plantations of the curious. It is to be lamented that so elegant a tree is not more frequent in pleasure 

 grounds -peadly as it will succeed so well in this country, P. canadensis was first euhivated mongst 

 us by the late Mr. Peter Colhnson, at Mill Hill, where a large tree is still remaining of his planting
