Abstract
ALTHOUGH the cedar tree is not indigenous to Great Britain, it has been established so long and has become a peculiar and ornamental feature of our parks around country houses, churches, and rectories, and somuch admired that its absence would be a grievous loss. It is safe to affirm that up to seventy years ago very many thousands of trees could be counted throughout the country. During this period many have been destroyed, blown, or cut down, and it would be difficult to count up to four figures the numbers which have been replanted. Unfortunately, in too many cases a little cedar tree was planted close to the house, the original owner failing to recognize that the time would come, and that soon, when the cedar tree would top the house, so that additional loss has been caused by so many fine trees of this character having to be sacrificed.
