SELECT HEDGE-PLANTS. 
For ornamental hedges, we can recommend almost any of the hardy, compact-growing shrubs as being de- 
sirable. for screens, we have found nothing so useful as the American Arborvitte, Norway or Hemlock Spruces. 
With careful pruning, these can be kept low and in good shape; but in planting evergreens care must be used not 
to let the roots become exposed. For the division of lawns, the Japan Quince is very desirable; flowers are large 
and showy, scarlet-crimson ; foliage a glossy green until late in the season. Should he pruned well every fall, 
bor a defensive hedge, for farm purposes and turning stock, wo have seen nothing equal to the Osage Orange 
It is a very vigorous grower, but requires the shears often to keep it in a desirable form. For a division of outer 
fence for small lots, undoubtedly the California Privet is the best. It is almost an evergreen, and grows freely in 
pruned Compact antl re S u, * r in form, and bears shearing to any extent; being without thorns, it is very easily 
Osage Orange should be planted about 6 inches apart. Privet or other shrubs, about 12 inches; evergreens, 
about 12 or 18 inches, according to size.
