SEASIDE PLANTING. 



apart, and at a distance of 12 in. from each other. Large 

 plants may be subdivided to almost any extent. A garden 

 line is stretched along the ground, a notch 10 in. deep taken 

 out, the grass inserted therein and filled with sand, and 

 afterwards firmly trodden. That the sea mat weed is a most 

 useful plant for fast gaining a footing on sandy tracts of 

 sea coast, and thus allowing of following up with the 

 shelter-giving trees, cannot be disputed. 



The Lyme grass (Elymus arenarms) is also valuable for 

 growing in almost pure sand on the sea coast. 



It is of tall, elegant growth, and is readily increased from 

 root divisions. 



The following trees and shrubs, alphabetically arranged, 

 .are recommended for seaside planting :
