General Remarks. — Large numbers of hardy Conifers are planted in the 

 policies here, which cover 200 acres, and most of them are thriving very well. 

 Cedrus atlantica and the more tender Pines, &c., do not succeed, but all those 

 mentioned in the list, and some others, grow luxuriantly, and make remarkably 

 fine growth every season. An avenue, a mile long, is planted with Abies nohilis 

 and Birch, Lime, or Chestnut alternately, and the effect is very fine.
