The following notes on Coniferous Trees, which have been compiled as opportunity offered during the past twenty-two years, are taken in the main from specimens cultivated at Penrhyn Castle, Woburn A bbey, and other places of which the writer has been in charge. To the owners of several well-known Pineta and nurseries throughout the country and on the Continent, I am indebted for specimens and information regarding some of the rarer species and varieties. Numerous articles, monographs, and essays on Hardy Conifers have, at various times, been contributed by the author to The Garden, The Gardeners Chronicle, and Transactions of the Royal Scottish Arboricultural Society, and from which Professor Hansen in The Pinetum Danicum, Nisbet in the last edition of Brown s Forester, Ravenscroft in The Pinetum Britannicum, and other writers, have done me the honour of quoting. Condensed notes from some of these papers are included in the present work.
