(.J. E. II., Indianapolis.) Hedge with Osago Orange by all means. It succeeds well, we 

 understand, in your climate. 



"We would advise the Pears, Apples, and Cherries to be dwarfs or pyramids. Plumsi 

 Peaches, and Quinces cannot bo dwarfed so successfully, and may therefore be grown as 

 standards.

 Horticulturist, volume 2, pages 405 and 406. We may reprint it at some convenient 

 opportunity. 



(V. A., Pleasant Ridge, Til.) Parsons' Treatise on tlie Boso is the most complete that has

Protecting Frxrr from Birds. — "Will you please through the columns of the Jlorticuliurist give 

 some method of protecting choioe fruit from birds, as it may be oi benefit to many of your sub- 

 scribers. Last summer I had some fine strawberries on newly planted Prince Alice Maud vinos, 

 (a strawberry that promises to sucec<.'d well in this region,) but was deprived of getting more 

 than the first throe or four that rijjened. The common cat bird was the one that did the stealing 

 — and did it well, too, for I watched with my gun and shot several and cauglit two in steel traps, 

 and hung cloths about over the fruit, but all of no ava-il. Jxo. G. 11. Kalb. — Lovettsville, 

 Loudon covnty, Va. 



Some people say that rebooting the first depredators frightens the others. Strawberries, 

 and other small fruits, inay be protected with nets, and so may dwarf cherrj' trees. 



Four best Evergreens for Cemetries. — In the March number of the Horticidturist you have 

 answe.red your Illinois corcesponden-t's question as to the " six best evergreens." Will you now 

 please name the four best evergreens for planting in cemetery lots, where large size would not be 

 so desirable as the qualities of beauty of foliage, quick growth and hardiness. H. F. 



We can recommend the Norway Spruce, Hemlock Spruce, Red Cedar, and Siberian 

 Arbor Vitso, as four distinct beautiful hardy trees, of tolerably rapid growth. The Jiini- 

 excelsa (Fall Juniper), and Jiiniperus Hihernica (Irish Juniper), as also the Swedish 

 or, are beautiful small ti'ees, hardy here.
