PINE CONES. 
Two of the largest cones produced by Pine-trees. That to the left is the cone of the Maritime Pine, which has proved so valuable in the reclamation of land from the sea in 
Brittany. That to the right is the cone of Sabine’s Pine, a North American species. The first is reduced one-fifth; the second one-half.
