*^* I am convinced, that, were truncheons of poplar, 

 of a proper size, cut over and planted without roots, they 

 would succeed perfectly well j and the fence could thus be 

 made at a much smaller expence, than by rooted plants ;

 soil. 



Fig. 6. represents an end view of the hedge, in which 

 A is the hedge new planted, before it has set out any 

 ihoots. B, the same hedge after it has been planted a year 

 or two, and has (hot out some strong (hoots. C, the same 

 hedge when farther grown, the top /hoots cut off, and the 

 sides properly trimmed.
