A healthy tree, clothed to the ground with branches, and thoroughly hardy. 



11. PiNus Strobus, nana — Height about 7 feet, with several leaders; a 

 very striking plant, from the variegated appearance of its foliage and shining 

 bark. 



12. Abies Doxjglasi— 30 feet high. 



13. Abies orientalis— 28 feet high ; a very fine specimen, but over- 

 shadowed with deciduous trees. 



These fine specimens of ConifersB were planted by the present proprietor, 

 R. H. Broughton. Esq., about 22 years ago, who is deservedly proud of them. 

 The cone -bearing Araucaria is decidedly rare in Scotland, and goes far to 

 prove that Araucaria is not absolutely dioecious ; probably far from it.
