All the varieties are pro- pagated from imported seeds, which may be sown in the same autumn in which they are received; or, perhaps, kept in a rot heap for a year, as they lie two winters and one summer in the ground before germinating. The plants grow exceedingly slowly for 4 or 5 years, seldom attaining in that period a greater height than from 1 ft. to 2 ft. When they are to be removed to any distance, they are best kept in pots ; but, the roots being small and numerous, lai'ge plants of P. Ccmbra transplant better (when they are not to be carried to too great a distance) than most other species of Pinus. b. Natives of North America. • 1 51. P. Stro'bus L.
