44 PINES 
P. SeRotTina, PALustRIs, Tapa, CANARIENSIS.— 
And he sacrificed, and burnt incense, in the high places, and on 
the hills, and under every green tree—z Kins xvi. 4. 
Although this quotation from Holy Writ had 
reference to events which took place in Eastern 
countries, the fact that the Tzeda Pine numbered 
among its many aliases the name of the Frankincense 
Pine, and was so saluted by the inhabitants of the 
country where it grew, seems to suggest that its 
resinous qualities were in like demand, as were the 
trees of Palestine, for some ceremonial purposes in 
western lands. 
These four Pines are hardly worth words here in 
addition to their description in Tables. Out-of-doors 
in Great Britain they have been put upon their trial 
by many planters, in many places, and found want- 
ing. They belong to the hopeless category of Come- 
to-Nothings, as far as our climate seems concerned. 
They seem to treat immigration to our shores as a 
pilgrim’s journey, and like a pilgrim’s march, with 
the prospect only of death at the journey’s end. To 
expatriate them seems but to invite and condemn 
them, 
To wander witheringly, 
In other lands to die. 
And whenever they are transplanted from’ their 
native surroundings, this is an ultimate end they 
seem speedily to achieve.
