injured. Plants in the Nurfery of Meffrs Waterer & Godfrey, at Woking in Surrey, have already borne 
both male catkins and cones. The fineft fpecimen in this country with which we are acquainted is at 
Walcot in Shropfhire, the property of the Earl of Powis. It was planted in 1844 (being then five years 
old), and has now reached 49 feet in height, and 2 feet 7 inches in girth, with 20 feet fpread of branches. 
A plant at Woburn Abbey was 20 feet high in i860, another at Mr Gambier Parry’s, Idighnam Court, in 
Gloucefterfhire, was then 18 feet. At Caftle Kennedy, in Wigtownfhire, there is a fpecimen which was 
planted in 1847, and is now more than 17 feet high. At Colonel Pennant’s, Penrhyn Caftle, Bangor, 
there is one 13 feet high, and about twelve or fourteen years old. It is pretty generally diftributed all 
over the country, although, we believe, nowhere extenfively planted. The tailpiece is a very good repre- 
fentative of the tree in its young ftate, and is taken from one in our Nurferies near Edinburgh.
