Under this mode of culture are obtained splendid specimens 

 of pine fruits at all seasons ; which, though inferior in size to the 

 twelve or fifteen pound specimens grown elsewhere, may rank as 

 a generally fine crop with that of the first cultivators of the day, 

 taking the age of the plants into consideration. The fruits of 

 100 plants contained in a pit here, weighed, when cut, each from 

 5 to 7 lbs.

An evergreen species, 4 ft. to probably more than 6 ft. high. 

 The branches are nearly destitute of prickles, are of a purplish 

 brown colour, and but thinly invested with leaves : these are 

 upon short footstalks, are of a roundish figure, towards an inch 

 in breadth, convex, and sparingly toothed in the margin ; the 

 teeth end in prickles ; the leaves are, in texture, coriaceous, and 

 are covered with a sort of bloom, and their under surface is very 

 white. The flowers, yellow, are disposed into remarkably dense 

 nodding clusters, which are not much longer than the leaves. 

 Fruit not known to Dr. Lindley. The London Horticultural 

 Society has obtained jB. dealbataZ/Z?Z(i/. from Mexico. Dr. Lindley 

 has deemed it " probably hardy" in Britain. [Bot. Reg., April.)
