Although il had ardently longed to grow and to have the (juietude of the forest, that it might see something of the world without; it had been hurt by the axeman, and il found almost stifling the air of the brilliantly-liglited room. It bled at its base and suffered. Even in cultivation the tree is short- lived. It is the one, it is well to remem- ber, from which the needles should be gathered to fill pillows. From the blister-like portions of its bark, balsam is abundantly procured, and the air laden with its odours is known to have certain bene- ficial qualities, especially when breathed by those that have pulmonary diseases. A. Fniseri^ Fraser's balsam fir, is a beautiful rare tree which grows among the higher Alleghany mountains. It is very like the preceding species. In general tone it is olive-green although the under side of the needles is bluish white, and running through their middle is a line of bright green. The needles are very blunt-pointed and grow thickly on the upper side of the little branchlets. The cones are small and oblong, and the inner leaflet, or bract of the scales, projects a short and reflexed point.
