WAYSIDE AND WOODLAND TREES. 
The Chili Pine does not succeed in this country unless it is 
given pure air, sunshine, abundant moisture, and an open sub- 
soil to carry it off. Yet it will grow to a very handsome tree 
if these conditions are observed. Very fine effects have been 
obtained in some places by planting an Araucaria grove. Such 
an avenue is in fine condition at Woodstock, Co. Kilkenny 
(running parallel with an avenue of Abies nobilis), every tree 
with its branches intact from turf to summit, and bearing 
fertile cones. There is a similar, but less perfectly preserved. 
Araucaria grove at Bicton in Devonshire.
