be the most hardy of the Eiiroponn Yews, as well as tlie most 
boauiifiil, the ends of its branchlets being of a rich gol.leu varie-

HEDGE-PLANTS. 
Buckthorn {Rhnmma cnlhnrlia(s). A strong, hardy, native species, 
with thorny branchlets; excellent for exposed fencing; rather 
coarse for ploasure-gronnds. Price S2 to S4 per hundred. 
Privet, English (Ugustnm viilfi'ire). A neater shrub, with clear 
green foliage, starting early, and remaining very late in antiimn. 
In most positions, it forms .a beautiful compact hedge. Price 32 
to S4 per hundred. 
'Pyras {Ci/(hnia Japonica). This beautiful shrub is . unequalled for 
ornamental hedges, on account of its fine rich green foliage and 
its brilliant scarlet flowers. The cost of propagating is its only 
drawback. Price for I -year plants, S5 ; 2-ycar, S3; 3-ycar, S12. 
Shrubbery. Various kinds of flowering slirubs, sucli as Spirajas, 
Weigelias, Lilacs, &c., are used for hedges : but the effect of the 
inflorescence is transient ; and, as the habit of the shrubs is not 
generally compact and uniform, wo do not recommend their use. 
We can supply various kinds at $10 per hundred. 
EVERGREEN HEDGES. 
Arborvitse (Thuja). The compact, conical habit of this evergreen 
renders it very suitable for hedges and screens. It is also easily 
kept within bounds, bearing close trimming. It prefers a cool, 
moist soil ; and the cases of winter-killing, so called, often arise 
from want of vigor and tlio effect of a dry soil. Price per hun- 
dred, for plants 1 foot high, $8; 2 feet, $12; 3 feet, $1.'). 
HeinlOCk {Ahics Canadensis). This is the most graceful and beau- 
tiful of all hedges, its form and delicate bright-green foliage 
being specially suitable. Its great drawback is In the first cost, 
and in the risk in transplanting. Price per 100, 1 foot high, 
$15; 2 feet, $.30. The latter are extra fine; and, as they may be 
planted at wider distances, they are not much more expensive 
than the smaller size. 
Norway Spruce {A. excdsa). For large screens, and for shelter, 
this is admirable. It also bears close clipping. Price for each 
foot in height, $12.50.
