Directions for the Transplantation and Management of 
‘Young Thorn or other Hedge Plants, preparative to 
their being set in Hedges: with some practical obser- 
vations on the method of Plain Hedging. By Thomas 
Main, District of Columbia. 
TRANSPORTATION OF THE PLANTS. 
‘Such as are intended for a distant carriage will be 
packed in boxes, the price of which will be added to the 
charge. The seedling plants being commonly destitute of 
lateral twigs are naturally well adapted to lic in small 
compass; ten or fifteen thousand may conveniently be 
deposited in a box, such as any labouring man can lift 
with ease. The largest seedlings are, however, in a fa- 
vourable season, of a size much superior to this calcula- 
tion, never the less always well adapted to be laid in 
little room. 
WHEN A BOX OF PLANTS COMES TO HAND 
They are to be managed according to the state of 
the weather, or the season of the year in which they 
arrive, the length of time they have continued in a state 
of confinement, and their apparent condition being also 
taken into consideration.
