OKNAMENTAL GAEDENING. 



HEDGES. 



Fifteen difiFerent kinds of hedges were planted since 1911, but it is yet too early to 

 say which will give most satisfaction. The white spruce had to be replaced, as most 

 trees had died. 



CONIFERS. 



Twenty-five varieties of conifers are on test on the ornamental grounds, but so 

 far few of them have done well.
