This was introduced some few years a*o by the 
late Mr. Ewing of the liaton Nurseries, and has 
undoubtedly proved itself to he the very best 
Fencing Plant ever grown. For rapidity of 
growth it is unrivalled, and, under fair condi- 
tions, will make a capital fence in three or four 
years from planting. It also grows vigorously 
in the poorest soils, and is first-class for plant- 
ing in exposed situations or bv the sea coast. 
It, is quite hardy and will stand the severest 
frosts without injury. 
The Myrobella does not often fruit in this 
country save in the South or West of England 
and in sheltered positions in the Eastern and 
Midland Counties, and then only when allowed 
to grow into trees or large bushes ; it, however,, 
forms a capital stock for Plums, and if strong 
single stems are allowed to grow from the fence 
at intervals of about twelve feet, they may be 
budded or grafted with choice varieties of this 
popular fruit, and in a lew years will form a 
most profitable and ornamental hedgerow.

Tlie best time for planting is in November or early Spring, or it may be done in open weather at any time during the Winter months, 
but in fairly moist weather successful plantings may be made as late as the middle or end of April. In planting plant firmly, placing the 
sets from six to nine inches apart according to size. After planting, about the time that growth commences, they should be cut down to 
eight or fen inches in height. It will hear almost any extent of clipping, and should be cut at least twice a year about the end of July 
and in Winter or Spring whilst in a dormant state, and should he fairly trimmed the first } r ear or two after planting to ensure a good 
bottom for a strong and thick fence, but it may be clipped in to form a fence no thicker than an ordinary garden wall, which will be found 
quite impenetrable. As the plants advance in age the branches become armed with long, sharp spines, which make the fence impenetrable 
to cattle, &c. Myrobella will therefore he found splendid for making new or improving old fences, and much superior to "W hitethorn or 
any other fencing plant. plant five or six to the yard.

“It is one of the best of plants for n close live fence, for it needs but the moat simple management to ensure a free growth from the bottom, and 
this soon becomes so close and so formidable with spiueB as to be impenetrable by cattle, and equally so against human intruders. 
We have selected the favourable testimony, published on this page, as to the suitability of Myrobella or Cherry Plum as 
a hedging plant from a mass of correspondence, expressing approval of hedges formed by it. We may mention that we have 
some fine examples of Myrobella hedges in our Nurseries, which we shall be happy to show to any one interested.
