It seems to me that there are two different forms, but I am not familiär enough with 

 the variety to say something about it. With seedlings I have thus far been unlucky. 

 They arrived frozen or dried up. The German dealers moreover dif ferentiate between 

 a Coulteri and a macrocarpa « The cone which I have is very large, not inferior ;however t 

 another with thin yellowish scales, probably Sabiana . If I should draw anything I 

 will send it in.
