CHAPTER VII 



TREES AND SHRUBS FOUND GROWING ON THE 

 YORKSHIRE COAST 



OWING to the exceedingly variable climatic influ- 

 ences which surround the shores of the British 

 Isles, it would be practically impossible to give 

 special lists of plants to meet every case. The 

 list herein given will be found the most generally 

 useful, as it is taken from one of the coldest and 

 bleakest districts. On the coasts of Devon, 

 Cornwall, the West of Ireland, and some other 

 parts, where the winters are milder, tenderer 

 kinds of plants will grow, such as Camellias, 

 Indian Azaleas, Fuchsias, Coronillas, Eucalyptus, 

 and others, as well as Palms and other sub-tropical 

 plants in variety. In these milder places, and 

 where it is desired to grow collections or special 

 kinds of plants, which may usually be grown in 

 greenhouses in this country, careful observations 

 should be taken of what has already been done in 

 the same or similar districts, and the planting 



carried out according to local conditions.
