HHDGH PLANTS. 
WHICH MAY BE EMPLOYED 
FOR ORNAMENT SHELTER, SCREENS, AND DEFENSE 
ee 
For these purposes we recommend Evergreens like the American and Siberian Arbor Vitw, Norway Spruce, 
_Austrian and Scotch Pines, and many of the Deciduous and Evergreen shrubs, such as the Japan Quince, Tamariaz, 
Deuitzias, Spirceas, Mahonia, &c., and for defensive hedges, the Honey Locust and Osage Orange. 
FOR ORNAMENT. 
The Siberian Arbor Vite, in our opinion, takes the precedence among Evergreens as an Ornamental Evergreen 
Hedge Plant. Its thrifty, compact growth, fine form, great hardihood and deep green color, which its foliage retains 
throughout the year, adapt it specially for dividing lines between lawns or gardens, or for hedges along streets or 
‘avenues. 
The American Arbor Vite, though not quite so ornamentalin character, being less dense in growth and spreading 
in habit, forms a handsome hedge. It may be obtained at less cost than any other Evergreen hedge plant. 
For a low, ornamental hedge, the Tom Thumb Arbor Vite is useful. 
With careful pruning the Norway Spruce may be kept low and in good shape, and grown in this manner is highly 
ornamental. 
The flowering shrubs are ornamental hedge plants par excellence; among them the Japan Quince is particularly 
‘desirable, on account of its good habit and handsome foliage. Weare growing it largely for hedges. 
FOR SHELTER AND SCREENS. 
~ For planting in belts to afford shelter from violent winds, or for concealing unsightly objects or views, or for 
boundary lines, we recommend the Norway Spruce and Austrian and Scotch Pines. Their robust habit, rapid, dense 
growth, and entire hardiness, are characteristics not easily to be found in other Evergreens. 
The American Arbor Vite also is particularly valuable, either for shelter or screens. 
DEFENSIVE HEDGES. : 
For turning cattle and as a farm hedge for general purposes, the Honey Locust, in this locality and farther north, 
‘is the most valuable. It is of vigorous growth, perfectly hardy, and thrives with ordinary care, and is sufficiently 
thorny to be impenetrable. It bears the shears with impunity, and can be grown in any desired form. South of us, 
the Osage Orange is in great favor, but it is not hardy enough to be serviceable here. 
DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING. 
Evergreens must be handled with care, so as not to allow the roots to become dried by the wind. Plants for 
thedges being generally set when quite small, should be placed about nine inches apart; larger sized plants will 
require more space. ‘ 
Honey Locust and Osage Orange are generally planted in double rows, about nine inches apart. 
PRUNING. 
Evergreens should be pruned in spring, just before they commence growing. Summer pruning may be prac- 
ticed on the Arbor Vitce should the growth be too rapid.
