These,the true Cedars, have always been famous because ofincluding the Cedar of Lebanon, C. Libani, famedalways as a tree named in the Scriptures and by manywriters of the past, in both prose and Japanese Yew, Taxus cuspidata brevifolia The species of these notes is deemed the hardiest ofthe three, but so far as Pennsylvania is concerned allthree are hardy. Then what has often been observedapplies in this case as well: that there are situationswhere these trees grow wild that are colder than others,and .seedlings vary in hardiness according to where theseeds came from. There are very large trees of theseseveral Cedars in the vicinity of Philadelphia, some ofthem having borne cones for years, but this character-istic has been noted so far only of the Lebanon Cedar. Of the three species the writer accords to the Deodarathe palm as the handsomest. Its beautiful silvery foliage,drooping somewhat as it grows, makes it admired wher-ever seen.
