HED 



[471 ] 



HED 



formed on a soil that will not produce 

 a biding fence of any other kind. 



Sweet Briar (RosaRubiginosa) 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 trim- 

 ming 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. Gard. Chron.

HEDWI'GIA, of Swartz. (Named after 

 John JETedgwig, a botantist. Nat. ord., 

 Amyrids [Amyridacese]. Linn., 8-0c- 

 tandria l-Monogynia.) 



The Amarids are closely allied to the orange 

 tribe. Beaume 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 hedys, sweet, 

 and c/iion, snow, in reference to the 

 sweet-scented, snow-white flowers of 

 H. maximum and coronarium, the two 

 best garden plants of the genus. Nat. 

 ord., Ginyerworts [Zinziberacese] . Linn., 

 \-Monandria l-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 sum- 

 mer will bring up the beautiful flowers. Sum- 

 mer temp., 60 tO 85, with moist atmosphere 

 when growing, cooler and drier when flowering ; 

 winter, 50 to 55.
