PRICES OF CONIFEROUS TREES 
- +-*^*~* - 
Following the plan of Loudon when completing his large work, the “Arboretum Britannicum,” a circular letter 
was addressed to upwards of one hundred of the principal nurserymen in Europe, inviting them to send for 
insertion in the “ Pinetum Britannicum ” copies of their Price Lists of Coniferse, the object being to shew the 
variation of prices in different parts of this country and the Continent. To this only one response has been 
made—viz., from the Lawson Seed and Nursery Company, to whom we are indebted for the following list. 
This firm succeeded, a few years ago, to the business carried on for nearly a century by Peter Lawson & Son 
of Edinburgh, whose Price List forms one of the five published in 1838 in the Appendix to Loudon’s 
“ Arboretum.” 
A comparison of this list with those of other nurserymen, obtained from independent sources, conveys 
a sufficiently accurate idea of prices in the present year, 1884. The nomenclature followed is not in all 
respects that adopted in the “ Pinetum Britannicum,” but is sufficiently accurate for practical purposes.
