ON THE YORKSHIRE COAST 73 



Deciduous ; indigenous South of Europe and Asia 

 Minor. It has been cultivated in this country 

 from time immemorial. 



Cedar. See Cedrus. 



Cedar of Lebanon. See Cedrus Libani. 



Cedrus atlantica, Mount Atlas Cedar. This 

 has been noted by Mr. Beeforth as one of the 

 hardiest and grandest trees for the seaside, 

 especially under partial shelter from the north- 

 east. A free, open soil and subsoil is indispensable 

 to the successful cultivation of all the Cedars. 

 C. atlantica is of quicker growth than the Cedar 

 of Lebanon, and of a more erect pyramidal habit. 

 It is an introduction from the Atlas Mountains in 

 Algeria in 1843, where it is found at 7000 to 8000 

 feet altitude. Evergreen; height 80 to 120 

 feet. 



Cedrus Deodara, Deodar or Indian Cedar. 

 The Deodar and the Austrian Pine are mentioned 

 by Mr. Beeforth as being the two hardiest ever- 

 green trees for the coast ; but Mr. Barry states he 

 has found the former to be of little use, when 

 quite exposed to the north-east, as it loses its feather 

 on that side, but that it is luxuriant in half shelter. 

 It is a tree of graceful habit, and as it is hardy 

 might be more largely grown on the coast. For 

 notes on the essential soil conditions, see C. 

 atlantica. Introduced from the Western Hima- 

 layas in 1822, where it is found at from 4000 to
