This is the coming hedge plant for defensive as well as 
ornamental purposes, far more desirable than Osage Or¬ 
ange It is hardy as far north as New Jersey, and if 
planted in good soil an impenetrable hedge can he had 
three years from planting. Requires but little trimming 
after the third year. So far it has been free from insect 
depredations. In early spring, when covered with myr- 
iadsof white flowers, nothing is more attractive, and 
while not an evergreen, the vivid trreen wood makes it 
appear bright during the winter. Plants may be set 2 feet 
apart in rich soil.

HEDGE AND CEDItUS DEODAR A. 
whereas the Amoor River Privet retains its brighter 
green color throughout the entire year. We have cul¬ 
tivated this plant since 1803, and during that time have 
propagated and sold immense quantities for planting 
hedges, which are now to be found in every section of 
the Southern States. It has stood a cold of 20 degrees 
below zero in Western North Carolina, and is equally 
successful in South Florida, thus withstanding both 
extremes of heat and cold. It is, therefore, the most 
desirable of all broad-leaved evergreens where a tall 
hedge is desired. Giowthvery rapid; adapts itself to 
any soil not too arid or a swamp. If properly treated a 
good hedge may be expected in two years after planting. 
Set plants 12 inches apart in ordinary soil, but in very 
rich land 18 to 24 inches distance may be given. After 
plants are set, cut back to 8 to 10 inches in order to make 
a dense hedge.
