SELECTIONS. 



Observing that some of the pa()ers introduced into this 

 voldme indicate a strong and laudable anxiety in their au- 

 thors to have the hedging system introduced if they only knew 

 how to proceed, and which plant or plants are best adapted 

 to the purpose. In order to direct their exertions with cer- 

 tainty, so thaj they may proceed without danger of disappoint- 

 ment, I have taken the liberty of presenting for insertion, 

 the following small tract, which was presented to me by the 

 author who is himself an honorary member of this society. 



Mr. Main has fully, proved by real experiment, that one 

 of our native thorns is greatly preferable for hedges, to the 

 English white thorn ; that hedges can be raised in this coun- 

 try in shorter time, by two years, and at a great deal less 

 expense than in England. Knowing as I do, that it is Mr. 

 Mains wish, as well as his interest to do every thing to 

 promote this elegant and useful improvement in the coun- 

 try, I expect he will pardon this freedom which I have ta- 

 ken without his knowledge.
