We have but just introduced the Deodara into the United States, and can therefore say little of its growth or beauty here, though we have little doubt that it will prove one of the noblest evergreen trees for our pleasure grounds. Loudon says, "the specimens in England are yet small; but the feathery lightness of its spreading branches, and the beautiful glaucous hue of its leaves, render it, even when young, one of the most ornamental of the coniferous trees; and all the travellers who have seen it full grown, agree that it unites an extraordinary degree of majesty and grandeur with its beauty. The tree thrives in every part of Great Britain where it has been tried, even as far north as Aberdeen, where, as in many other places, it is found hardier than the Cedar of Lebanon. It is readily propagated by seeds, which preserve their vitality when imported in the cones. It also grows freely by cuttings, which appear to make as handsome free-growing plants as those raised from seed." The soil and culture for this tree are precisely those for the Cedar of Lebanon.
