General Remarks. — The new Conifera? are thriving well here, and making 

 fine specimens, of which those in the table are amocg the best. Alies amahilis 

 was received from the nurseries under that name about twenty years ago, but it 

 is very like A. magnifica \ both growing vigorously here, and forming very beauti- 

 ful trees.
