HEDGES.^Two indiaponaable qualifications in plants 



selected for the formation of Hedges arc : (1) that they 



should have dense foliage and closely arranged brancblcts, 



and (2) that they should bear frequent clipping without 



being materially injured thereby. A select list of trees and 



shruba suitable for the purpose la hero given. The heights 



quoted are those attained by the plants under natural 



conditions. For further instruction the reader is referred 



to the article on Hedges, in Vol. XL Mongrcdien, in his 



" Trees and Shruba for English Plantations," says : 



" Where a cheap Hedge is wanted, why not try the common 



Gooseberry? Cuttings (to be had for nothing) strike 



freely in garden soil, whence, if transplanted the** eii^iuing 



year to the hedge-bank (provided it be eufTiciently wide 



and flat to catch and retain the moisture from rain), they 



will rapidly grow into dense, prickly bushes, easily kept in 



shape by clipping, and never expanding either trunk or 



roots into such dimensions as to injure the bank on 



which they are planted." Clipping of Conifers should 



only be performed when the sap is comparatively quiescent : 



either in spring, before new growth commences, or in 



autumn, when the year's growth is completed.
