SHRUBS FOR A HEDGE. 



Please give a lis^t of liarcly shrubs suit- 

 able for a hedge 100 feet long between 

 two city lots, said hedge to be composed 

 of as many kinds of shrubs as possible 

 and having a long season of bloom, har- 

 monizing colors and wliite. H. W. 



A hedge, properly speaking, should be 

 composed of but one Jiind of shrub or 

 evergreen; if the latter, either Xorway 

 spruce, American arbor-vita' or hemlock 

 spruce. If of deciduous shrubs, the Cali- 

 fornia or English privet is ofttimes seen, 

 but there are other shrubs that make a 

 fine hedge. Pyrus Japonica and Spiraea 

 Thunbergii are both excellent. There is 

 much to be said both for and against 

 hedges. Where a fence is a necessity 

 then surely a well-kept hedge is far more 

 sightly than either wood, iron, or brick, 

 but a hedge should not be planted just 

 for the sake of appearance. 



It is evident that H. W. does not 

 ^vant a hedge proper, but more what 

 should be called a belt of shrubs. If a 

 .single line of shrubs is intended to be 

 planted in a straight line 100 feet long 

 by all means let them be of one kind. A 

 mi.xture in a single straight line would 

 look absurd. If a variety is desired, then 

 let the line consist of one shrub in some 

 spots and in others let them be two or 

 three deep; break up the line as much 

 as possible. At the rear or on your neigh- 

 bor's side the line can be straight, but 

 on your side let it be as informal as pos- 

 -sible. 



The variety, both of genera and spe- 

 cies, of hardy tlowering and ornamental 

 leaved shrubs, is fortunately very large. 

 The following twenty-five omits many 

 Ijeautiful kinds, yet it includes those that 

 should be in every collection. I have not 

 given height, because height of shrubs is 

 a fallacy. You must control height liy 

 the annual pruning.

Korsythia Fortunc-i, yelktw. 



Honeysuckle tartarica. pink and white. 



Prnnus Pissardii, fine purple foliage. 



Symphoricarpus racemosus, pink flower, whitt 

 fruit. 



Mahonia .\quifolia, yellow flower, and this is 

 a true evergreen. 



Berberis Thunbergii. dwarf, spreading, most 

 suitable for prominent points. 



Wei gel i a rosea. 



Tamarix Africaua, very ornamental foliage. 



Uosa rngosa. 



Kibes (currant) flore plena, crimson flowers. 



Syiinga coronnrius. white. 



Xanthoceras sorbifolia. white and pink. 



Ilarbery, purple leaved. 



I have not included in the above short 

 list the glorious rhododendrons, kalmia, 

 azalea or any of the ericaceous shrubs, be" 

 cause they are a dead failure with us, 

 but I believe that in the vicinity from 

 which H. W. writes they will thrive. 

 If so, by all means plant them.
