From the above table, it will be seen how congenial even the cold climate of Scotland is to the growth of this tree. Indeed in its native soils, the tops of the surrounding hills are almost perpetually covered with snow, and it is, therefore, one of the very hardiest of the evergreens of the old world. There is no reason why it should not succeed admirably in many parts of the United States; and when we consider its great size, fine dark green foliage, and wide spreading limbs which "--------Overarching, frame Most solemn domes within," SHELLEY. as well as the many interesting associations connected with it, we cannot but think it better worth our early attention, and extensive introduction, than almost any other foreign tree. Evergreens are comparatively difficult to import, and as we have made the experiment of importing Cedars of Lebanon from the English nurseries with but indifferent success, we would advise that persons attempting its cultivation should procure the cones containing the seeds from England, when they may be reared directly in our own soil, which will of course be an additional advantage to the future growth of the tree.*
