ROSE PLANTS FOR HEDGES. 



The use of roses for the making of a 

 permanent hedge is a proposition often 

 overlooked in the planting of a garden, 

 but it is one of the most beautiful and 

 satisfactory ways to show many varieties 

 to advantage. 



There are many sorts that do not stand 

 trimming well and many that have poor 

 blooming qualities and poorer foUage, 

 but among the teas there are quite a few 

 that answer all the requirements for a 

 satisfactory hedge. 



The Agrippina, although not a tea 

 rose, is more used for this purpose than 

 any other sort. It is naturally of a 

 rather dwarf growth and in the climate 

 of San Francisco it flowers every day in 

 the year. Continued pruning rather ac- 

 centuates this condition than otherwise, 

 and during the months of April, May and 

 June a well cropped hedge will be so 

 covered with blooms that the foliage and 

 stems will be entirely covered. It can be 

 kept at any desired height almost in- 

 definitely, the writer having in mind a 

 hedge over twenty years old that is only 

 two feet high and the same in width. 



Among the less showy colors, the 

 Duchess de Brabant is the best hedge 

 rose in the pink sorts. It is almost as 

 good a bloomer as the Agrippina and the 

 blossoms are of rather more value. Mile. 

 Cecil Bruner has few equals for this pur- 

 pose and, while it does not make a showy 

 hedge rose, it is a constant bloomer and 

 the flowers are of considerable value. 



In the yellow sorts the old-fashioned 

 Safrano is by far the most desirable. It 

 is an endless bloomer and stands trim- 

 ming well. 



The hybrid perpetual roses are not as 

 good for hedges as are the others. They 

 do not bloom as profusely, they do not 

 care to be trimmed as often and the 

 flowers want plenty of stem room. They 

 are good, however, if there is no desire 

 to limit the height of the hedge, but 

 where a low, closely cropped effect is 

 desired, the other varieties I have men- 

 tioned will better answer the purpose.

Randolph, Vt. — H. M. Totman has ob- 

 tained a fine water supply for his green- 

 houses by the purchase of the Frank 

 Morse spring, which has already devel- 

 oped a flow of eight gallons a minute. 

 The spring is southwest of the village 

 reservoir and seventy feet higher than 

 the greenhouses, to which it will be piped 

 overland this winter with 1,225 feet of 

 pipe. Next summer Mr. Totman will 

 build a private reservoir and provide his 

 greenhouses with an independent system 

 of water supply.
