TREES TO PLANT FOR ORNAMENTAL PURPOSES. 
The most widely distributed of North American Coni- 
feno, and one little changed in appearance, is the Red 
iana). This tree is found as far 
and south to the Gulf of Mexico, 
antic to the Pacific. At its ex- 
t is only a shrub ; on our own 
a rugged tree, and is of no little 
ly purposes; while in the warmer 
same species is banished to the 
that clear, soft wood used the 
world over in the manufacture of the best lead pencil-. 
The Douglas Spruce, which is one of the most valuable 
of American forest trees, bus a less extended ranged It 
is common from British Colombia to Mexico, extending 
east into the Rocky Mountains of Colorado. The most 
interesting point is this: children inherit the character- 
istics of their parents; and even the seeds of trees carry 
with them and perpetuate the constitutions, delicate or 
strong, that the region in which they were produced 
developed in the parent plants. The seeds of the Douglas 
Spruce from the Rocky Mountains produce trees which 
are as hardy here in New England us the C'edurs <>n 
our hiRsides ; while plants raised from the m eds of the 
same tree growing in the milder, moister climate of tho 
Pacific States, fail entirely to adapt themselves to our 
New England climate, as, indeed, do all the trees, with 
hardly an exception, from the region west of the Rocky 
Mountains. Therefore, having au insufficient knowledge 
of the distribution of a species, we cannot .-ay that 
any particular tree is hardy, and will servo our purposes 
as material for forest or oruameutal planting ; but wo 
must know, in tho case of widely distribnti i -pceie-, 
the exact physical conditions of the partici : a locality 
from which the individual wu obtained, l ! I nron 
Larch is said to he a better timber tree in .
