CORDYLINES FOR FINE EFFECT 
Jeffrey's Pine grows as a handsome tree 
of rich colour, shorter and more rounded 
in outUne, with branches less divided, 
and foliage of a paler green. It fruits 
freely, the cones being large and easily 
mistaken for those of Pinus caiiarie?isis^ 
especially as the leaf-arrangement of 
the two trees is identical. It is said to 
be less subject to disease than pojider- 
osa^ and is so hardy as to stand unin- 
jured the winters of the south of Sweden 
and St. Petersburg. Its wood is valuable

Our engraving is from a photograph 
sent to us by Lady Onslow from Cill 
Alaithe near Killala, on the west coast 
of Ireland, and shows what may be done 
to gain sub-tropical effects, by the plant- 
ing of the hardier Cordylines in gardens 
near the sea. Lady Onslow adds the 
following interesting note : — " This is 
no sheltered bay facing the sunshine 
and shut off from the outer world like

many of hose near Cork and Queens- 
town, where the ^winter temperature 
almost rivals that of the Riviera. On 
the contrary, the climate here is not at 
all what one could wish for tender 
plants, for the garden is constantly 
buffeted by the roughest of winds that 
sweep down from the Atlantic upon the 
north-west coast of Ireland, and, — best 
proof of all as to what may be done on 
our western coasts — it did not exist 
twelve years ago."
