Plex (holly) ; but, for reasons best known to himself, they are planted so as 

 to form a clipped hedge, as a fence between a field and his arboretum. I 

 must confess it was with regret that I observed this, as I conceived they were 

 well worth a place detached from each other, either upon the lawn, or in a 

 compartment by themselves. Mr. Harrison's garden, taking into consideration 

 its small extent, will, I think, gratify any person who may visit it, as there is 

 a considerable degree of taste displayed therein, the merit of which is, I believe, 

 wholly due to the proprietor himself. — T. Rutger. Shortgrovc, May, 1834.

 name of the sort of willow used by the Dutch for hoops, and of which the 

 bark is of a dark brown or red colour ? If grown in this country, where ? — - 

 C. M. W. London, Nov. 26. 1833. <Salix triandra, very probably; and, if so,
