it, on the north side, are a number of large trees, the 

 green leaves of which form a useful and effective background. 



While it is possible 

 by using Hollies, Yews, 

 Box, conifers and other 

 evergreens with col-

 shrubs is, generally

 have brightly-coloured 

 foliage, and are very 

 suitable for the pur- 

 poses referred to in 

 these notes.
