Trees Suitable for Planting on Saline Soils. 



Sons impregnated with saline matter, of wMch. we have our share ia this 

 coTintry, are extremely troublesome to the general planter. While these 

 can be sweetened and purified to a considerable extent by drainage and 

 deep subsoiling, there always remains a certain amount of saliniferous 

 matter in the subsoil which will produce failure in the results of planting, 

 if care be not taken to plant only such trees as are known to withstand 

 its injurious effects. 



For the guidance of my readers then, I give a list of trees of this 

 character : — 



Aeaeia Fycnantha. — (Bentham.) " Broad-leaved Wattle." 



Ailanthus Glandulosa — (Desf .) " Tlie Tree of Heaven." 



Cttpressus Semperoirens. — (Linne.) " The Common Erect Cypress."
