of this species, which has the following history. In Carlisle, in the 

 county of Cumberland, in the spring of 1855, a cutting was planted 

 in a flower-pot. The owner afterwards moved to Stavanger, taking the 

 plant with him, and planting it out in the garden in the spring of 1857- 

 It was then only 12 inches high. When in 18G3 he left Stavanger 

 the tree was 5 to G feet high. It has never been protected in the 

 winter time. In August 1877, when the tree was found by the forest- 

 master Gloersen, it had the following dimensions : Height, 14 feet ; 

 at a height of Ij feet the stem had a circumference of 21 inches, and at 

 a height of 3 feet it had a circumference of 17 inches. The greatest 

 diameter of the crown was 9 feet. This tree since then has been twice 

 much damaged, but a measurement which was taken in October 1885 

 gave the following results : Height, 51 feet ; the circumference of 

 the stem a foot from the ground, 28^ inches, and the diameter of 

 the crown 11 feet 6 inches. The tree now looks quite fresh." 



At Stockholm Cedrus Deodara survived the winters of 1872-76, 

 but in the winter of 1876-77 the crown was much injured. In 

 sheltered situations it has since that year done fairly well, although 

 the tops have in many instances been killed. 



C. D. crassifolia, hort. Carr. Man. des PI. 345. 



This variety differs from the preceding one in having much thicker 

 and shorter leaves, and much shorter and more compact branches, 

 which are less pendulous. 



C. D. robusta, hort. (the robust Deodar). C. D. gigantea, 

 Knight. 



A robust-growing variety, with a very glaucous appearance, and 

 much larg^er in all its parts. 



C. D. viridis, hort. (the green-leaved Deodar). C. D. teauifoUa, 

 Knight. 



A very distinct variety, on account of its bright grass-green colour 

 and slender habit. It is entirely free from any glaucous appearance, 

 even when young.
