HEDGES. 
The idfia of planting Hedges for use and ornament, and screens for the protection of orchards, farms and eardens, is a practical one, and rapidly becom- 
ing appreciated. i j 
They serve not only as protection against the fierce winds, but there is much less trouble from the blowing off of the fruit. Some writers tell us that 
the temperature is warmer in the vicinity of evergreens. However this may be, we know that our gardens are earlier and our fruits ripen better wlien 
protected by such screens Nothing can be more beautiful than ornamental Hedges, well kept and pruned to serve as boundary lines between neighbors 
or as divisions between the lawn and garden or to hide unsightly places. By using medium sized plants a hedge can be made as cheaply as a good boarj 
tence can be built, and then with a little care, it is becoming every year more and more "a tiling of beauty." We all know that such "Hedges constitute 
a principal attraction m our best kept places. 
To secure a good hedge it is necessary to plant well. Dig a deep, wide trench, and work the soil thoroughly about the roots. Press the ground 
hrinly, and mulch heavily for a distance of two or more feet on either side, according to the size of the plants. This is especially necessary with ever- 
greens, and all exposure of the roots to the sun and air must be strictly avoided. 
Deciduous hedge plants, as a general rule should be planted from 6 to 12 inches apart, evergreens from 8 to 18 inches, according to size.
