CEREUS SWARTZII. 
| || Good hedge plants are a desideratum in many 
places, but there are not many localities out of 
jjtfopical or subtropical regions where such a hedge as 
'that represented at p. 185 (fig. 37), would be possible. 
Ikglance is sufficient to show how effectually it 
^purpose, and how striking its appearance must be. 
The ^photograph from which our drawing was made 
[was obligingly forwarded to us by Mr. Hart of 
[Kington, Jamaica. It represents a hedge of Cereus 
Swartzii, a species which, like others of its class, 
grows so freely under suitable conditions, that all that 
is necessary is to stick a fragment into the ground, 
when it will grow as freely as a Willow cutting here.
