FOREIGN SEED.-C. F. Klink, of 1907
Fourth street, who is well known as giving
much attention to horticulture and taking
special interest in the mountain trees of
California for number OF years, received via
Malaga, Spain. package of seeds from An
dalusis, the classic grounds of the Moors.
They are the seeds CT the Pinus Piaea, q
species of pine known in Europe as the
italian stone-pine. The tree is much valued
in Italy and Spain for the seed of its cone,
which is used in CONNECTIONS and pastry, and
is considered a great delicacy. The pine
grows to a hight of about twenty five feet,
natures in from five to eight years, and grows
rapidly in It's early years. The climate of
which il is native is similar to that of Cali
fornia, and it's foliage resembles that of the
lang-leaf pine of this State. Some years ago
B. b Re1ding, then a resident of this city,
brought some of those seeds from Italy, and
several trees that sprouted from the seeds
then planted are growing within the city lin
it's. Two are growing within the grounds of
the State Capitol. Mr. KliRk will give those
seeds to any one who will call for, plant and
cultivate them.
