The tree life of the Eocky Mountains is meagre ; pines and firs and aspens (or cottonwood) make up its catalogue ; nor are these so abundant or so rich in size or beauty as to challenge special attention. They grow in greatest luxuriance at elevations of from eight to eleven thousand feet ; and the timber line does not cease till nearly twelve thousand feet is reached. A silver fir or spruce is the one charm 40 THE PACIFIC RAILROAD OPEN. among the trees. But the flora is more varied and more be...autiful ; Dr. Parry reports one hundred and forty-one different species in these higher moun tains, eighty-four of which are peculiar to them ; and I can report that nowhere else have I gathered such wealth in glory of color and perfection and num bers of fringed gentians, harebells, painter's brush, buttercups, larkspurs, child sunflowers, dandelions, and columbines, as on these eight and ten thousand feet high hillsides, or in little nooks of grass and grove still higher.
