Tete* Mahorx)r wiW idtt©n tree grows in Cuba to a vast size : theteis 
one on an estate called Santa Anna 100 feet high. Its trunk which 
is forty-four and a half feet in circumference at the base, rises to 65 feet 
without a branch or a single knot on its white bark. The branches 
are worthy of the stem and cover a diameter of 165 feet. This im- 
mense tree is in itself a world, and shelters and feeds millions of in- 
sects ; several parasitical plants attach themselves to it : wild pine 
apples grow at the top, and the vine vegetates on its boughs, and 
letting its branches droop to the earth, furnishes a ladder for rats, 
mice, and opossums, which would find it diflScult to climb up a smooth 
bark, and enable them to reach the pine cups, which form so many 
natural reservoirs for the rain water. The wood-louse founds exten- 
sive republics in this tree, and establishes its large and black cities at 
the juncture of some of the branches, from whence it descends to the 
ground by a covered way, of which it provides two, one to ascend 
arid the other to descend. This little insect is of the size 6f a flea, 
is inoffensive, and a great treat to the inhabitants of the poultr};- 
yard when given to them in the nest altogether. 
No plant is better adapted for underwood than the Yew ; it will 
thrive under the drip of other trees equally with the Holly ; they 
^y dfteti increased by cuttings and sometimes by layers. Cuttings 
of the young wood strike freely: when rooted, they should be trans- 
planted into nursery-beds, or lines to attain sufficient size, age, and 
strength, fof final planting <«it;j^9qqfi '^sdj ae madj Jo^-ijgdjs oi Haw ob
