The =Huntingdon Willow= (_Salix alba_) and =Bedford Willow= (_S. Russelliana_), but particularly the former, are excellent trees for windy shores. In many places along the coast the Huntingdon willow may be seen in a most flourishing and happy condition, and that, too, where the surroundings are the reverse of favourable. It is a tree of quick growth, and will succeed well in any class of soil if it be not too damp. In one instance that came under my notice, the trees were planted on a promontory overhanging the sea and in such a situation that they were almost constantly subjected to rough-blowing winds coming in from the Irish Sea, and yet they have grown with the greatest freedom, and to-day look as healthy and happy as if planted in some sheltered inland situation. The =Beam Tree= (_Pyrus Aria_) is another excellent small-growing tree for planting in sites where, from cold saline blasts, few others could eke out even a miserable existence. On the limestone cliffs of the Great Orme’s Head this handsome and hardy tree grows in a most surprising way—indeed, with the exception of one or two species of willow, I question very much whether any other tree could exist under the trying circumstances. The hard and leathery leaves seem as if specially constructed for bearing storms, and, being plentifully produced, render a great amount of shelter to other trees. The =Goat Willow= (_Salix Caprea_), for planting in almost pure sand on the sea-coast, is a most valuable small-growing tree, and it is so hardy that, without the least risk of harm, it may be planted at great altitudes, and in very exposed situations. In several of the maritime plantations that I have formed, this willow was used with remarkable success in the outer line or screen. The =Aspen= (_Populus tremula_) is an excellent shore-tree, one that can withstand a great amount of rough usage, and as hardy and fast-growing a subject as could well be desired. In the formation of several exposed seaside woods on the west coast of England I planted the aspen largely, and, I may add, the results have been most satisfactory. =P. canadensis=, =P. alba=, and =P. nigra= are likewise worthy of extended culture, for they succeed well by the seaside. They all stand the breeze from the sea, are perfectly hardy, and afford a great amount of shelter.
