tain, and is certainly very rare in gardens, but at Trebah there is Pinus 
a healthy specimen, seven feet in height, which has been out for Montezumz 
six years, and which was but slightly injured by the late winter. and 
The Mexican Pinus Montezumae is one of the loveliest of 
all conifers. It is hardy in the south-west, but is practically 
unknown, its rarity being demonstrated by the fact that no 
mention of it occurs in the last sixty volumes of “ The Garden.” 
There is a fine and very beautiful specimen at Tregothnan. 
Euonymus fimbriatus is seldom met with, but is very 
effective in the spring, when the young leaves terminating the 
shoots are bright crimson in colour, and give the tree the appear- 
ance of being in flower. Eucalypti are to be found in many 
Cornish gardens, but the finest collection is at Menabilly, the 
late Mr Johnathan Rashleigh taking a great interest in these 
trees, the foliage of which is very tender in colouring, and shows 
considerable variation in the different species. In these gardens 
Eucalyptus coccifera, thirty years old, is seventy feet in height ; 
E. Gunni, sixty feet; E. cordata, eighteen years old, sixty feet ; 
and EF. urnigera, of the same age, eighty feet. . coccifera, 
E. cordata, and E. Gunni have been raised from home-grown 
seed. Of the younger trees, that have only been planted a few 
years, E. quadrangularis, E. saligna, E. Beauchampiana, E. 
pulverulenta, E. viminalis, E. goniocalyx, E. obliqua, E. rubida, 
E. resinifera, and E. Cambagei have attained heights varying 
from fifteen to thirty feet. These Eucalypti are planted in 
large groups on sloping ground, surrounded by other trees, 
their blue-grey foliage contrasting charmingly with the deep 
green of the adjacent woodland. There is an example of the 
scented-leaved E. citriodora trained against the house at Tre- 
gothnan. The Blue Gum, £. globulus, is fairly common, and
