HEDGES.- INFORMATION WANTED. 
We aro continually receiving inquiries 
from correspondents in all parts of tho coun¬ 
try on tho subject of hedges. What are the 
best plants to use ? When, how and where 
should tho seed bo sown ? When should 
tho plants be transferred to the hedge-row? 
Or should tho seed bo sown at once when 
tho hedge is required, and thus avoid the 
labor of translating ? Would you plant on 
tho flat or raiso a bank with a ditch on one ^ 
side ? How long after planting before wo 
should have a good fenco ? Is thero much 
labor required to take caro of them ? Arc 
they durable ? What is tho whole cost por 
rod of making a good hedge ? Such are a „ „
