THE PINES. 107 
feet high, and in 1837 was twenty-five feet high. It is 
strongly recommended for ornamental purposes, but I 
doubt if plants of this species can be safely handled 
here; but if in any place, it would in all probability be 
Kansas or some of the adjacent states. 
TABLE-MOUNTAIN PINE. 
Height about forty feet, numerous branches, habits 
and general appearance of the Scotch pine. I cannot 
recommend it either for lumber or as an ornamental 
tree. It is found chiefly on the Blue Ridge Mountains.
