Coniferous trees for profit & ornament : being a concise description of each species and variety, with the most recently approved nomenclature, list of synonyms, and best methods of cultivation. g; autumn,when they put on the lovely golden colour ; andduring the leafless period, when the yellowishgreen or golden brown bark of the youngerbranches shows off to perfection, and renders thetrees distinct from almost every other in cultiva-tion. In this cormtry the largest specimens havethe stems well furnished with semi-pendentbranches. The leaves vary in length accordingto their position on the tree, but are usually from11 inches to 2 inches long. From home-grownspecimens of the cones that have been forwardedto me, the average size would be about 2 incheslong by IJ inches broad ; but with the age of thecone and opening out of the scales the measure-ments vary much. They are composed of anumber of diverging scales, each i inch long andhalf that in width, which, after the ripening ofthe cone, soon fall apart. The tree succeeds wellin not too stiff loamy soil or that of a peaty com-position. Dampish situations suit it best, andit is by no means impatient either of shelter PSEUDOLARIX FORTUXEI. HARDY CONIFEROUS TREES 163 PSEUDOTSUGA, Carriere THE DOUGLAS FIRS Male flowers like those of Picea. Cones pendent, persistent, ripening the first year. Scales persistent. Bracts long, two- or three-pointed. Cotyledons var^^ng in number from five to twelve. Leaves stiff, flattish, bright green, and more or less acuminate. Branches whorled ; bark on young shoots glabrous. This genus was founded for the Douglas Fir, the habitand fohage being nearly that of the Silver Firs, and the maleflowers like those of Picea.
