AVENUE TREES. 65 



or road avenue work. All these bear pruning well, 

 and moreover carry a handsome foliage. 



A street avenue may be formed of the common Yew, 

 Ilex Oak, and the Lignum Vitce, or Lime, although the 

 last named will be difficult to keep as neat as the first 

 three. Still by clipping two or three times during the 

 summer the Lime may be made to present a much 

 neater appearance than is generally supposed, and it 

 will bear any amount of clipping or cutting. 



Now, if constant attention is paid to such summer 

 shades, nothing will better repay the inhabitants of hot 

 towns like Torquay in summer, than avenues or rows of 

 trees planted next to the shops. They are almost 

 necessary adjuncts to places of such beauty. Shade is 

 the thing wanted during the summer months in places 

 which have so many attractions.
