THE WEWKE EVEEGEEEN OENAMENTAL TEEES. 517 



twelve years ago as (if we are not mistaken) " The Short-leaved 

 "Weymouth," which we never thought correct, but there vi^as so 

 little to distinguish it from an ordinary pine that we replaced 

 it by something more valuable. It was perfectly hardy. 



P. Hah'pensis (Aleppo, or Jerusalem pine). — This variety 



^ resembles the Brutia (which we have 



p. HieroBoiymitana. already described) so much as to be often 



up our mind whether it will stand our climate here, or not. It 

 does very well in a wood, and a specimen more exposed, does 

 equally well, if it is true ; but the resemblance to Brutia is so 

 great that it may be this variety ; Maritima is often confounded 

 with it. Messrs. Hovey, in Boston, report it as hardy and fine 

 there ; but their plants, like ours, may prove Brutias, or some- 

 thing else. It is found on the east and west sides of the 

 Apennines, and in Sicily, among the rocks in Lybia, and in 

 Greece, growing to be a tree of thirty feet. 



P. Hartwegii (Hartweg's pine). — This is a fine variety that 

 we remember to have struck us very forcibly ten 



p. resinosa. years ago, in England (when very small), from 



p. standisM. j.j^g g^jg^ dense color of the foliage. It is one of 

 the Mexican pines, forty to fifty feet high, and beginning on 

 the mountains at ten thousand feet elevation, where the Picea 

 religiosa ceases. "We have tried it for several years with but 

 indifferent success, and have abandoned it as too tender for any 

 climate north of Virginia. It is too coarse for pots. 



P. inops (The New Jersey pine). — This variety, too well 

 „ known to need description, is found from Carolina 



p. variabilis, to the Hudson River, but does, we think, extend 

 l)eyond it. It has a spreading top, and is thirty to forty feet 

 hirah and, of course, must be planted in collections, though 

 hardly otherwise would be selected by the amateur. 



P. insignis (the Eemarkable pine). — "We regret that this 

 - certainly most beautiful pine will not

p. minteragensis. though it will, no doubt, do well and 



prove a very great acquisition in our Southern States. It is so 

 attractive in its appearance, that it was one of the earliest of 

 tlie new conifers tried here, but without any success. It is
