YEOMANS & SONS' GROWING HEDGES. ']'o grow a Hedge successfulh', a few matters ot inijiortame sliould receive careful attention. First: Make ciioice of good plants, as uniform in size as may be, cutting off the tij) of the lap root, and the toj) about two inches above the collar or ground line, and plant in single row. plants six inches apart, and culti\ate as well as one would a row of potatoes. In the Spring, one year from planting, cut back to within six inches of the former cut ; and the second Spring cut again to about nine to twelve inches from the preceeding cut, and if it grows well leave it about one foot higher each spring at cutting, till it reaches the height desired, giving it at top the desired shape, pointed to the centre, and sloping sharply about half way (from, top) to the ground. Spring Pruning causes more viorous growth, while Summer Pru- ning clieclis or retards it; thus the trimming in spring till the hedge is formed, tends to grow it tjuickly, and let all futiire trimming be in summer, which will be easily done while the wood is soft, and check the growth, thus easily keeping the hedge in form with only a small amount of pruning which should be done two or three times during the growing season, and will thus be less labor than one pruning of hard wood, and at all times keep the hedge in more perfect form.

Particular attention given to Hedges and Hedge Plants; Honey Locusts for defensive, and Evergreens of great variety for Ornamen- tal Hedges and Screens.
