4 SEASIDE TREES AND SHRUBS 



villa resident seeks to shut himself in from the 

 public gaze by thickly planting his surroundings, 

 and perhaps likes to see some of the rarer speci- 

 mens growing in his garden. 



The aesthetic value of any part of the country 

 which is well and artistically wooded is of the 

 highest importance, exercising as it does a great 

 and beneficial influence on the social, moral, and 

 physical development of its people. 



Much can be done in this way along the 

 eastern coast. A more extensive planting of 

 trees would not only greatly add to the pleasure 

 and comfort of its residents, but also render its 

 seaside resorts more attractive to the numerous 

 summer visitors who frequent these parts, during 

 their holiday seasons of rest, pleasure, and en- 

 joyment. 



INFLUENCE ON CLIMATE, SOIL, AND CROPS 



The climatic conditions affecting the culture 

 of trees, shrubs, and other plants, vary much in 

 different parts of the long extent of land surround- 

 ing the shores of the British Isles. 



These are the results of various atmospheric 

 phenomena, such as the direction and force of 

 winds, oceanic streams and currents, elevation of 

 land, the amount of rainfall, clouds, and mists 

 affecting atmospheric and soil humidity, and other 

 causes.
