COUNTRY LIFE'
The Tally of Trees
The royal book on Coronation planting, which is to be published early next year, will surprise most people by its scope. The total of trees and flowering shrubs planted both in Britain and Greater Britain is enormous ; but the total number is less remarkable than the variety of sites for the trees. They include village greens, model gardens, school gardens, recreation grounds (not excepting the Devil's Dyke), roadsides and churchyards. It would be a pity if the record were not virtually complete ; but still a good many of the planting committees and individuals have sent in no record ; and their memorial will find no place in the royal book, unless they make good their silence at once. The last day for receiving news for the book is December zoth. The address is Coro- nation Planting Committee, 68, Victoria Street, S.W.r.
