V. n EDGE-PLANTS SUITABLE FOR THE INCLOSURE OF CEMETERY LOTS. 



The Amtri'cnn IIolli/ will bo tbe first choice 

 of all who can procure it, both for its 

 beauty and durability. 



The Juni]>cr.i will form a very beautiful and 

 suitable hedge, south of Pennsylvania. 



Arbor Vila-, both Chinese and American, 

 Golden, Oriental, Tartarian, and Japan, 

 are highly suitable and ornamental for 

 lots, especially the latter, but require 

 annual shearing. 



T/ie Siberian Arbor Vit(t is particularly suit- 

 able for a cemetery hedge ; of slow growth, 

 compact habit, and requires but little 

 trimming, 



TJie Hemlock, treated as a hedge-plant, would 

 be exceedingly ornamental. 



The Yeu-.t, but, especially, the upright, or 

 Irish variety. 



Tlie Bucl'thorn, and Berberries. 



Jlotiei/sucklen, carefully attended to, are grace- 

 ful and proper, particularly the Chinese 

 Evergreen. 



The Tree-Box is of slow growth, hardy, and 

 tnaly superb as a cemetery hedge, requir- 

 ing less attention than any other. 



The Savin, with its dark-green foliage, is 

 only second to the above. 



The Evergreen Privet. 



The Lilac, Syringa, Pyracantha, Snowball, 

 and similar straggling plants, should 

 never be allowed. 



\^. VINES SUITABLE FOR TOE ADORNMENT OF INDIVIDUAL LOTS. 



The Clematis; most of the varieties, but, 

 especially, the Sweet Scented, which will 

 cover a monument or inclosure with its 

 delicate tendrils and flowers in the most 

 beautiful manner. 



T7ie Sweet Scented, or Male Grape, will run 



over a tree or large shruli, and annually 

 produce its regale of delicious odor. 

 The Wistarias may be used, with caution, 

 where there is a large space or railing to 

 entwine. 



BULBS, &C. 



Lily of the Valley, 

 Christmas Rose, 

 Monkshood, 



Sweet Violets,

FOE COVERING GEAVES.

 evergreen for the hillock over a grave. A 

 little attention in keeping free from grass 



and weeds will give an entirely satisfac- 

 tory mound. 

 Moneywort and Ivy. 



VINES AND SHRUBBERY FOR GENERAL PURPOSES. 



The Trumpet Flowers, American and Chinese, 



to mount the larger trees. 

 Ivy, the Giant, ditto ; the English is hardiest.

 Aristolochia, or Birthwort, 

 The Fragrant Wild Grape, 

 The Evergreen Honeysuckle, and other vaiie- 



ties. 

 Jasminum Officinale, the White Jasmine. 



The Yelloiv Jasmine, south of Philadelphia, 



would be eminently suitalile for both the 



public and private grounds. 



In the Southern States, there are many 



additions to these lists that will strike the 



planter there ; our observations are made 



principally for the latitude of Philadelphia, 



but apply, in the main, to both Korth and 



South. 



We find the sul)ject has grown upon us so much that a third article will lie 

 necessary. We shall give a list of trees, shrubs, and plants, that will succeed 

 under the shade of trees, a desideratum to many in private gardens ; with a few 

 additional remarks pertinent to the subject of cemeteries.
