HEDGE PLANTS. 
To form neat divisions in pleasure grounds, or as a partial screen giving an effective relief to the palings in 
front, the Privet, by reason of its easy cultivation, and rapid grow'th, is perhaps best adapted of all hedge 
plants to general use. The Hemlock, Red Cedar , and Arbor Vita, are often used for similar purposes, and 
are exceedingly beautiful, but it is a work of time and patience to bring them to perfection. 
For farm hedges the Buckthorn has been preferred to any other in use amongst us. The late Mr. Downing 
in expressing his preference for it, remarked, “ It will grow in any soil, make* a thick hedge, with very little 
time or labor, needs clipping but once in a year, and may be trimmed when the leaves are off, at any time 
when the Farmer has least to do. Besides this, it is less liable to be attacked by disease, insects or vermin, 
than any other hedge plant within our knowledge, and may be raised from seed as easily as peas. It is a little 
wanting in thorns when young, but gets stiff enough to turn cattle when it has been sheared three or four 
years.”
