THE GENESEE FARMER. 



Hedges. — I want to plant out gome hedges to a con- 

 siderable e-xtent, and not thinking the Osage Orange to be 

 hardy enough for our locality, would like the opihion of 

 your correspondents in regard to the Buck or Hawthorn — 

 where to obtain it, and how to plant the seed ; also in re- 

 gard to the Norway Spruce as a shelter for orchards, and 

 if the thorn would not do well planted between them for 

 a fence, thereby obtaining two objects. P. E. Williams.
