rampant, and also in several gardens at Fyling 

 Hall, Thorpe, near Robin Hood's Bay, and 

 other places. As a hedge plant it will bear 

 cutting well. In full exposure its leaves are 

 sometimes injured by the winds. It succeeds 

 in any ordinary well-drained soil. Evergreen. 



Euonymus europ&us, Spindle Tree. Common 

 in hedges and thickets in many parts of England. 

 Deciduous ; Britain. 



Euonymus japonicus. Both the green and 

 the golden varieties of the Euonymus take the 

 lead as being amongst the hardiest and most 

 useful of evergreen shrubs for the seaside ; both 

 in the open and as undergrowth in shrubberies. 

 They are useful as hedge plants, being hardier 

 than the Privet and not so much cut up by the 

 winds. It is largely planted at Scarborough, and 

 magnificent hedges are seen in many places on 

 the English coast. As they are so easy to 

 cultivate, and will strike freely from cuttings 

 near the sea, they should be more largely grown. 

 They will succeed in any good soil. Evergreen ; 

 Nepaul, 1804. There are several varieties, some 

 of which are very handsome, named according to 

 the markings and colour of the foliage. 



Evergreen Oak. See Quercus Ilex. 



Fagus sylvatica, Common Beech. By the 

 seaside the Common Beech is fairly good when 

 well established and under partial shelter afforded
