One of the largest specimens of the Sciadopitys in Europe is, according to the Garten Zeitung, a fine specimen growing in the garden of Max Daniel Wolterbeck, at Valkenburg, near Arnheim, in Holland. It was planted where it now stands, in a very exposed situation, twenty years ago, and it is a healthy and beautifully formed tree. Moreover, it has never suffered in the least from frost or other cli-matal influences. Of pyramidal shape, it is nearly 13 feet high, with a circumference of a little over 21 feet. Two years ago it bore for the first time two ripe cones, and the seed produced fifteen seedlings. Last summer it bore only one ripe cone. We should like to know where is the largest and best specimen in the United States. The Editor has a very pretty one 5 feet high, but there are probably larger ones than this.
