EXOTIC FOREST TREES IN 
FRANCE. 
In the course of his travels through France 
Monsieur Maurice de Vilmorin has had the 
happy thought to note the height of such 
trees as have any claim to forest value. As 
the climate of a great part of northern and 
western France differs little from our own, 
the results may be of interest to planters in 
this country.
