HEDGE-HOG THISTLE 416 



HEDYSARUM 



appearance. When walls are made for this, the founda- 

 tion should be three feet wide, and tapering to fifteen 

 inches at top. As the plants advance in growth, they 

 should be regularly trimmed with the shears : by proper 

 attention to this they will be prevented from growing 

 too tall and thin at the bottom. If this is annually 

 repeated, the plants will be longer preserved in a healthy 

 and vigorous state : clipping has also a good effect in 

 checking the furze from spreading over the field. A good 

 and substantial fence may thus be quickly formed on a 

 soil that will not produce a biding fence of any other 

 kind. 



Sweet-briar (Ro'sa nibigino'sa) makes a good hedge. 

 Its heps may be sown in the autumn, as soon as ripe, 

 or, which is better, in the month of March, having kept 

 them, in the meantime, mixed with sand. But it is far 

 more convenient to buy young plants, and to plant them 

 a foot apart early in the month of November. Let 

 them grow as they like for the first year, and cut them 

 down to the ground the second ; they will then spring 

 up and require no more care than occasionally trimming 

 with the pruning-knife or shears to keep the hedge in 

 shape. When it gets naked to the bottom, it must be 

 again cut down. Card. Chron.

HEDWTGIA, of Swartz. (Named after John Hedgwjg, 

 a botanist. Nat. ord. Burserads [Burseraceae]. Linn. 

 8-Octandria, i-Monogynia.) 



Closely allied to the Orange tribe. Beaunte a sucrier, a 

 substitute for Copaiva, is obtained from this Hedwigia. 

 Stove evergreen tree. Cuttings of ripe shoots in sandy 

 soil, and in a good heat ; sandy loam and a little peat. 

 Summer temp., 60 to 85* ; winter, 50 to 55.

HEDY'CHIUM. (From hedus, sweet, and chion, snow ; 

 in reference to the sweet-scented, snow-white flowers of 

 H. ma'ximum and corona'rium, the best two garden 

 plants of the genus. Nat. ord. Gingerworts [Scitamin- 

 aceae]. Linn. i-Monandria, i-Monogynia.) 



Stove herbaceous plants. Division of the plants before 

 fresh potting them ; loam and peat, with a portion of 

 sand and dried cow-dung. They must have plenty of 

 water and light when growing. It should be tried to 

 give them their rest period by keeping them cooler and 

 drier in winter, and, if well grown before, the advancing 

 heat in spring and summer will bring up the beautiful 

 flowers. Summer temp., 60 to 85, with moist atmos- 

 phere when growing, cooler and drier when flowering ; 

 winter, 50 to 55.
