Holly, Yew and Box 



I. Hodginsii. The greater number are planted in 

 the form of avenues, but in the instance of the 

 best avenue they are alternated with Limes which 

 have grown out of all proportion and quite kill 

 the effect of the Hollies. 



For suburban gardens the Hollies are to be 

 recommended as they always look fresh, for, 

 from the glossy nature of their leaves, dirt is 

 readily washed away by rain. For smoke-laden 

 districts it is better to select varieties with glossy 

 rather than dull leaves.
