pine-tree, which will shoot from the
smallest fissures of the rocks, and thrive much
better than when carefully planted in a
good soil. The fir-tree thrives best in an
independent situation (if I may be allowed

is the easiest method of propagating this
tree, and the most likely way to make it
flourish. Collect the cones which contain
the seed, hang them up till perfectly dry,
then commit the seed which is small and
light, to the spontaneous distribution of the
wind. There is a peculiar moss adherent
