Examples of some of these will be found upon the tables. 

 Others which I have not named, of more recent introduction, no 

 doubt will prove equally hardy ; but, careful in this matter, I do 

 not pledge myself to varieties which have not passed through a 

 scathing winter. 



Conifers, their Uses and Value. — Independently of their uses 

 as ornamental trees, for producing shelter, softening and puri- 

 fying the atmosphere, the economic value of Conifers is immense ; 

 so great, indeed, that the present rate of consumption will soon 

 clear the immense forests in many parts of the world. Norway 

 and American Spruce, Scotch, Pitch, and Weymouth Pine, 

 supply the bulk of the resinous timber used in this country. 

 The Corsican Pine, Red Pine, Larch, Taxodium, and Crypto- 

 meria produce enormous quantities of timber, consumed in their 

 respective countries. Whilst upwards of 70,000,000 feet of 

 American Black Spruce cut down represents a clearance of 

 14,000 acres of forest annually, Norway sends to England over 

 50,000,000 cubic feet of timber every year, her gross produce 

 more than ten years ago being over 84,000,000 feet. The
