THE EEMARKABLE TREES 



OP 



HEREFORDSHIEE. 



YEW AND ELM. 

 HOLME LACEY PARK. HEREFORD, 1873. 



The appearance of these Forest Trees is most striking. As seen in this sketch, 

 nth their roots mtertwining, they remind the spectator of two giants violently 

 s^uggl^g together. On the other side they seem to grow from ^ single stem 

 As might be expected, the tall Elm is dead, and the top of its perfectly naked trunk 

 IS thrust h,gh above the foliage of the victor Yew- Hke an arm of the van J^S 

 appeahng for mercy. vauciuisnea
