B. phot. very moist, often peaty and sour; it must therefore be carefully dug over, drained and if possible chalked and manured, but it can then become a very good loamy soil indeed. By carefully attend- ing to the new-planted trees and procuring for them the best pos- sible protection whilst at the same time keeping the soil free from the ever-present, numerous weeds, success was gradually obtained. Of older gardens with relatively large and successful tree-plantations may be mentioned those of the resident magistrate and the High School, those of the merchants Liitzen and Restorf and the one already spoken of which was planted 40 years ago by Pastor Bauer on the way out to Sandegærde. The trees most usually planted in the gardens are: rowan {Sorbus aiicuparia and scandica etc), maple (Acer pseudoplatanus), further various species of willow (Salix alba, capræa, incana, 6(5*.
