HEDGE PLANTS. To secure a good hedge it is necessary to plant well. Dig a wide, deep trench, and work the soil thoroughly into the roots. Stamp the ground firmly so that each plant will be set as solidly as a post, then mulch heavily with loose manure for a dis- tance of one to two feet on either side, according to the size of the plants. This is especially necessary with Evergreens, and all exposure of the roots to the sun and air must be strictly avoided. Evergreens should not be planted in the Fall. —j DECIDUOUS HEDGE PLANTS. California Privet (Ligustrum ovalifolium)—This is the most glossy-leaved and rapid growing of all the half- evergreen plants used for low hedges around private lawns and is the universal favorite at Newport and other fashionable seaside resorts. Entirely hardy and adapted to all parts of the country. The best hedge plant ever introduced. Honey Locust—Very hardy and the cheapest and the best for defensive hedges ; also very ornamental. CALIFORNIA PRIVET. Japan Quince—Unquestionably the finest of all plants for an ornamental hedge. Grows very compact; will submit to any amount of pruning, while the brilliant and showy scarlet flowers make it exceedingly attractive. Osage"Orange—Highly esteemed at the "West and South. Not hardy enough for the Northern States. The following are also very desirable for ornamental hedging, description •of which will be found under the proper headings in this catalogue: Altheas, Honeysuckle Tartarian, Roses, Berberry Purple, Hydrangea Paniculata, Spireas.
