to thrive in any part of Britain, even at great elevations, 

 we hope to see it extensively propagated, and, in some 

 degree, to become a rival to the larch. Great facility has 

 been given to its propagation by the transmission of seeds 

 from India by the shorter route now adopted via Egypt, &c, 

 as they usually reach us without their vitality being affected, 

 which was always the case to a great extent with cones 

 subjected to a long sea-voyage. It may also be propagated 

 by cuttings, which root freely, and promise to make as 

 handsome trees as those raised, from the seed. Its nur- 

 sery culture and after treatment may be considered pre- 

 cisely similar to that of the larch.
