The =Laurustinus= (_Viburnum tinus_).—Where the situation is not too exposed, this is a most valuable and ornamental shrub. =Lilac= of various species are well adapted for planting by the seaside, the two kinds most to be recommended being the =Common= and =Persian= (_Syringa vulgaris_ and _S. Persica_). The =Spanish Broom= (_Spartium junceum_) has been used with the greatest success all along the coast, being perfectly hardy, and an excellent subject for cold, draughty positions. The =Tree Groundsel= (_Baccharis halimifolia_) is not only a shrub of great beauty, but one that is perfectly hardy, and well adapted for planting by the seaside. It will thrive in almost pure sand, but it is all the better for a poor gravelly loam, and seems to delight in the ozone of the seaside atmosphere. Both the =Portugal Laurel= (_Prunus lusitanica_) and =Sweet-Bay= (_Laurus nobilis_) are valuable evergreen shrubs for seaside planting. From their large size and compact habit, they afford a great amount of shelter. The =Common Holly= (_Ilex aquifolium_) and its golden form both do well at the seaside, and this may also be said of the =Common= and =Scotch Laburnums=. They may be used with best advantage where the direct force of the blast is broken up. The =Common Gorse= (_Ulex europæus_) and the =Broom= (_Cytisus scoparius_) should on no account be omitted from our list of shrubs that are valuable for maritime wastes where the wind exerts its full power. The above shrubs include the principal of such as can be recommended for planting along the sea-coast, but where good shelter is afforded by the trees named in this chapter, a few others might be recommended for trial. These include the =Strawberry Tree= (_Arbutus unedo_), =Euonymus japonicus=, =Berberis Darwinii=, =Ligustrum Ovalifolium=, =Daphne Mezereon=, and =D. laureola=, =Ruscus aculeatus=, =Hypericum calycinum=, =Vinca major= and =V. minor=, and several kinds of thorn.
