twelve years ago as (if we are not mistaken) “ The Short-leaved 
Weymouth , ” which we never thought correct, but there was so 
little to distinguish it from an ordinary pine that we replaced 
it by something more valuable. It was perfectly hardy. 
P. Halepensis (Aleppo, or Jerusalem pine). — This variety 
resembles the Brutia (which we have 
already described) so much as to be often 
sold for it. We cannot quite, as yet, make 
up our mind whether it will stand our climate here, or not. It 
does very well in a wood, and a specimen more exposed, does 
equally well, if it is true ; but the resemblance to Brutia is so 
great that it may be this variety ; Maritima is often confounded 
with it. Messrs. Hovey, in Boston, report it as hardy and fine 
there ; but their plants, like ours, may prove Brutias, or some- 
thing else. It is found on the east and west sides of the 
Apennines, and in Sicily, among the rocks in Lybia, and in 
Greece, growing to be a tree of thirty feet. 
P. Hartwegii (Hartweg’s pine). — This is a fine variety that 
S y n we remember to have struck us very forcibly ten 
p. resinosa. years ago, in England (when very small), from 
p. standishi. fi ne? d ense co lor of the foliage. It is one of 
the Mexican pines, forty to fifty feet high, and beginning on 
the mountains at ten thousand feet elevation, where the Picea 
religiosa ceases. We have tried it for several years with but 
indifferent success, and have abandoned it as too tender for any 
climate north of Virginia. It is too coarse for pots. 
P. inops (The New Jersey pine). — This variety, too well 
known to need description, is found from Carolina 
p. variabiiis. to the Hudson River, but does, we think, extend 
beyond it. It has a spreading top, and is thirty to forty feet 
high, and, of course, must be planted in collections, though 
hardly otherwise would be selected by the amateur. 
P. insignis (the Remarkable pine). — We regret that this 
Syn ^ certainly most beautiful pine will not 
p. Caiifornica, of Loisel. resist our winters, even in a wood ; 
p. mmteiagensis. though it will, no doubt, do well and 
prove a very great acquisition in our Southern States. It is so 
attractive in its appearance, that it was one of the earliest of 
the new conifers tried here, but without any success. It is
