types which make excellent specimens and good mass plantings.The location considered in this discussion is along the northeast shore,where the exposure is the most severe. In the inland sections, removedfrom the severe exposure of the salt water, and protected by buildingsand woodland developments, a large part of the list of generally hardyshrubs used throughout New England can be planted with safety.All of the material in this group, however, has been under observationfor a number of years and has proven itself thoroughly hardy. In going farther south along the less-exposed New England shoreswe find a group of trees and shrubs which are fully hardy, but whichdo not develop at their best along the severe exposures of the MaineCoast. All of the material shown in the first list is fully hardy alongthe New England Coast and the less-exposed shore locations. Thereare many other shrubs which might prove hardy. Under the author'sobservation many types of this material have been used at one time oranother. Sources of responsible information have been further con-sulted and manyplants of questionable hardiness, which might otherwisehave been included in these groups, have been for the present omitted. |
