Hldges. 



A well-kept hedge is one of^he greatest ornaments of a country 

 residence. The Osage Orange h^s been much used as a plant for form- 

 ing strong outside fences^ and when properly cared for, will give satis- 

 faction. The Honey LtTcmt is Nothing inferior; indeed, it is preferred 

 by those who have made trail cg^both. It grows freely, although the 

 soil may not be of the^^st description, and fills out readily from 

 shearing. For inside dividing'*hedges, the Pyrus Japonica cannot well 

 be excelled, and the boH^a-ved Privet is also well adapted. Very 

 beautiful hedges can be raadetjvith the European beech. — Buckthorn is 

 also much used for the same purpose. 



Many hardy flowering shrubs may easily be trimmed hedge-fashion, 

 and form beautiful objects wh^S in flower. Weiglea rosea, Spireas of 

 various kinds, the Berberri^g^Hibiscus, &c, are a few of those most 

 useful in this respect. 



For Evergreen hedges, notning suits better than the American arbor- 

 vitse. The Hemlock Spru^Tis unequalled in its adaptability, and forms, 

 perhaps, the most beautifuEjhedge of any. The Cedars and Junipers 

 make good screens. Whefj^a strong and dense hedge is wanted, the 

 Norway Spruce will be frond satisfactory. Many plants will grow 

 compact, if cut and trimmed with sufficient care.
