 their Lofty growth and tine form; pinus cembra, or stone pine; 

 pinun excelsa, or lofty rliotan pine, with long deep foliage; 

 pinus laricis, the Corsican pin*', resembling the Austrian, but 

 slower in growth. 



The pinus sylvestries, or Scotch pine, is subject to mildew. 

 Its growth is shaggy and burnt looking. The same may be 

 said of t Ik- pinus strobus, or white pine in some locations, 

 after a growth of some twenty years.

 noble fir; picea cephalonica, or cephalonica fir ; picea pectinata, 

 and many others of fine growth can be found in the vicinity of 

 rocky pass, and many other parts of the park.

 specimen of retinospora pisifera aurea, or golden retinospora, 

 twenty feet in height; and cryptomeria lobia, or Japanese 

 cedar. 



The Cunninghamia sinensis, or Chinese [line, is a half hardy 

 tree and requires a sheltered situation. Some tine specimens 

 are in the vicinity of rocky pass.
