The seeds vegetate freely, even when three or four years old, and the cones coijtaining them may easily be obtained of London seedsmen.*- The cone of the Cedar of Lebanon (of which figure 3 is a re- duced drawing) is about 4 inches long, and is beautifully formed. The spring is the better time for plant- ing the Cedar of Lebanon, in this-climate. When the small trees aregirown in pots, there is no difficulty in transporting them to any distanc^,.and-as the months of September and October are the best for importing them from Kiglaud, we trust our leading nurserymen who are now importing thousands of fruit trees froni London and Paris aijnually, will provide a sufficient stock of this most desirable evergreen for the spring sales of 1848. If the Cedar of Lebanon does not become a popular tree with all intelligent planters in this countiy, who have space enough to allow it to show its beauties, and a Ceda/of\ebSto^^ climate not too inclement for'its growth, natural size. ^^^^ ^g jj^^^ greatly overrated the taste of those engaged in rural improvements at the present mo-. * Mr. Ash presented ua with some cones from his tree in 1844, the seeds fi'ora which we planted and they vegetated very readily: They should be sown in the. autumn, in lights, rich soil, in bi'oad flat boxes about four inches deep. These should be placed in a cellar till spring, and then kept during the summer following in a cool and rather shade
