Isaac Hicks & Son, Westbury Station, N. Y. Evergreens 



31 



Sand-bluff planting on property of Mr. W. Emlen Roosevelt, Oyster Bay, L. I. A few years ago this was a bank of 

 running sand. It was planted with Red Cedar, Bayberry and Broom, and the native growth of Locust, Virginia Creeper, 

 Poison Vine, Oak and Blackberry encouraged. A comparatively inexpensive sea-wall of posts and rocks holds the base. 



Bluff at Red Spring, Glen Cove. In the winter the loss of land at the top is rapid, but can be prevented by close plant- 

 ing with small evergreens (as described under Pitch Pine), mixed with various deciduous shrubs and vines. Partial death of 

 the trees at the top could have been checked by low planting about their roots. Concrete sea-wall and jetties of boulders.
