It must not be forgotten that our British evergreens flourish in the coldest parts of Yorks.h.i.+re in a climate that may be considered the most trying for vegetation in the British Isles. Hollies and Rhododendrons, where planting has been done on the hillsides, may be seen as quite large trees. The New Zealand Olearia Haasti may also be seen there--7 feet to 8 feet high and as much through.
