other places, but are now so acclimatised, that they 

 are able to stand out the whole year, and endure the 

 winter well. Mr. Warner did not himself know whether 

 any American leaf trees were used anywhere in England 

 as hedges, or whether any other American trees were 

 so employed. I will divide the trees used in hedges into 

 two divisons viz. : 



Tran til hackar, som altid hafva grona lof. 



Trees in hedges which always have green leaves. 



Taxus (Linn. Fl. Sv. 825) is much used in this

 the whole year, it is, with its beautiful yellow flowers, 

 very handsome. 



Padus. [Prunus Padus], bird-cherry. This occurs in

 Clus. Lauro-tinus vulgo, [Laurustinus] is used in some 

 places for hedges, but they are not particularly well 

 adapted for that purpose. See Miller's Gardeners'

Phillyrea. Nearly all sorts have been used for 

 hedges, but when hard winters occur they perish; besides
