General Kbmarks. — The Conifers named in the list are all well grown 

 specimens, with good stems well furnished with branches. The collection here 

 contains many other species of coniferous trees and bushes, most of which are 

 doing well in our fertile soil. We have in all about 300 trees of Wellingtonia, 

 ranging from 45 to 70 feet high ; and the fine avenue of them here is considered 

 one of the best in Britain, many of the trees being perfect specimens.
