AMERICAN AGRICULTURIST. 
[August, 
A NEW HEDGE-PLANT. 
PARSONS & CO. offer the 
Crataegus pyracantha alba, 
and recommend it as the best hedge-plant known. It is ev¬ 
ergreen, hardy at 14° below zero, which the old pyracan- 
t3ia is not, and so close, thorny, and strong, that a chicken 
could not get through, and cattle -would not attack it twice. 
Its roots do not spread widely like the Osage Orange, and if 
its top is neglected for several years, it can be readily trim¬ 
med into shape again. Its flowers in June, and its berries 
in autumn, are both very showy. 
It can be kept down to a foot for borders, or can be grown 
six feet high for farm fences. 
It has yet no insect enemy. Having tested it in various 
ways for fifteen years, we feel entirely safe in asserting that 
it meets all the requirements for a perfect hedge, and must 
inevitably supersede all others. 
The plants, being excitable in the early spring, should be 
put out in the autumn. They should be planted two feet 
apart, and will make a compact fence in four years. They 
are offered at $100 per thousand, which will make 5 cents 
per foot, and cheaper than any other fence for farm pur¬ 
poses. Address at FLUSHING, 1ST. Y.
