For example, suchspecies and varieties as look like the common Scotch Pine grow wellon that species as a stock ; while P. monticola or P. Lambertiana,and their allies, do better on P. excelsa or on the Weymouth Lawsoniana, which is readily propagated from seed, and isof clean habit, forms an excellent stock for the dwarf, dense, orvariegated form of Cypress. Nearly all the Fir tribe takekindly to the common Spruce as a stock ; while Biotas and Thujas,as a rule, sncoeed best on the Chinese Arbor-vitas. In the RevueHorticole, 1867, II. Briot states that Libocedrus tetragona succeedsas a scion on Saxe-Gotbfea; and its habit, in consequence becomes. changed into a wide-spreading head instead of forming a narrowcylindrical column. Chamaacyparis obtusa pygmsea, grafted onC. Boursierii, grows erect; while if worked on Biota or Thuja, or ifpropagated from cuttings, the plant spreads horizontally on theground. Pseudo-Larix Kasmpferi is best propagated by graftingscions on its own root, moderately thick pieces well furnished withfibres giving the best results. This mode might be used withadvantage in tho case of other rare Conifers which are difficult topropagate by cntting. F. W. B., in the Gardener. NOTES AND QUESTIONS ON TREES AND SHRUBS.
