The pleasure-grounds at Ribston, England, which are extensive, varied, and very beautiful, contain many fine specimens of trees and shrubs; the evergreens are particularly fine. There are a great many handsome promising young Conifers about the ground, and among them some very fine young trees of Cedrus Deodara, also two very handsome young specimens of Abies Pinsapo - one about eight, and the other about twelve feet high; both are perfect gems, of the general appearance of which some idea may be gathered from the accompanying representation of one of them. We also noticed a nice, healthy plant of Taxodinm sempervirens, which has stood oat several years an protected. It is, however, growing in a dry, sheltered spot. Cryptomeria japonica has also stood the winters well, unprotected. There is also a fine tree of Pinus excelsa; there are a number of other very flourishing young plants of Conifers in the grounds.

[The Abies Pinsapo is very striking and handsome for a stiff tree, and is somewhat like the Silver Firs, only its leaves are curiously recurved, having the beginning of a resemblance to the Araucaria. The specimen at Wodenethe, we find by our memoranda, is six feet high, and perfectly hardy - Ed].
