General Eemarks. — The Conifers mentioned above are doing well here; 

 and such tender species as Abies bracteata and Pinus insignis grow with great 

 vigour. Taxodium sempervireQis grows vigorously in sheltered places, and forms a 

 very fine tree. Cryptomeria Lobbii, and Tliuyopsis borealis and T. dolabrata are 

 also very graceful and distinct Conifers and grow here with great freedom.
