A correspondent says: "In a hurried call on your correspondent, Mr. Wooding, gardener to Mrs. Roberts, at Pencoyd, I was much interested in a fine specimen of the Pinsapo fir, Abies Pinsapo, as it is usually considered tender in this latitude. It was about 6 feet high and 3 1/2 feet wide. There was also a nice specimen of the Cephalonian Fir. It was also gratifying to note a greater sprinkling of new or rare trees and shrubs than we can see in many places. There are four large greenhouses, and some huge Lemons and Australian tree ferns indicated a genuine love of sound old-fashioned subjects that always give pleasure".
