Directions for the Transplantation and Management of 



Young Thorn or other Hedge Plants^ preparative to 



their being set in Hedges : with some practical ohser- 



. vations on the method of Plain Hedging. By Thomas

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 lie in small 

 compass ; ten or fifteen thousand may conveniently be 

 deposited in a box, such as any labouring man can lift 

 with tase. 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.
