formation, and between 800 and 900 feet above the level of the fea, is 8 feet high. At Eaftnor Caftle, in 
Herefordfhire, one fpecimen (a variety which throws out its branches horizontally, and has the young growth 
drooping gracefully) is 7^ feet high. Another more eredf and lefs graceful grower is 7 feet 3 inches. The

fhire, in a rather expofed fituation, growing in fandy loam, on clay and fandftone rock, is a plant 7 feet high. 
At Wellbeck Abbey, in the fame county, there is another upwards of 7 feet high. The rate of growth,

its growth becomes proportionally more rapid.
