 your last issue that P. J. U. asks for a 

 remedy for the clematis bug. We have 

 more or less trouble with this bug every 

 seaison and have found that one applica- 

 tion of Hammond's slug shot will drive 

 them away. The powder should be used 

 when the bugs first appear and little 

 damage -will be done." 



ENGLISH HAWTHORN FOR HEDGE 



I spent my vacation last month in 

 Nova Scotia and was greatly interested 

 in the fine hedges of English hawthorn 

 that I saw in Yarmouth. Can you tell 

 me if this plant will grow well in central 

 New York? I have never seen a hedge of 

 it in our vicinity, but if I knew that it 

 would thrive I should like one myself. 



A. W. W. 



All the eratffigtis, or hawthorns, arc 

 hardy in New York, and are occasionally 

 used for hedging purposes in the eastern 

 states, only, however, on a small scale. 

 They grow vigorously and make excellent 

 lawn specimens, being equally attractive 

 either in flower or fruit. For hedges the 

 varieties Crataegus Oxyacantha, English 

 May thorn, with single white flowers and 

 scarlet fruit, and C. Crus-galli, lockspur 

 thorn, bright red fruit, single white flow- 

 ers, long, stout spines, are the best. For 

 hedging purposes start with small plants, 

 which can be set out in early spring three 

 feet apart. If you want a thick, closely 

 cropped hedge, cut the plants down close

to the ground after they comuiencc to

The main objections which can be 

 urged to the use of hawthorn for hedging 

 purposes are that the foliage frequently 

 becomes disfigured by red spider in sum- 

 mer and borers attack the plants when 

 they become sizable. Still, there is no 

 reason why you should not have a hedge 

 which would last in good condition for a 

 number of years. In Cjreat Britain, 

 where hawthorn hedges are a feature, the 

 rows are often zigzagged, the plants 

 being sot as closely as a foot apart. 

 These hedges when closely cropped are 

 absolutely imponetrable. W. N. Craig.
