Evergreen Hedges.

"a
Speaking of evergreen hedges, a
hortlcnlturlst says: M M acs
Undoubtedly the hemIock spruce
makes the most beautiful OF all the
evergreens recommended for this pur-
pose. 1t always, in all seasons, re-
tains its rich, dark foliage, and can be
pruned to any shape that may be de-
sired. 1t occasionally, however, SUI,
fers from frost in very severe winters,
in certain localities, but not to such
an extent as to be any serious bar to
it's Introduction.
The next in point of beauty is the
American arhor vitae. tits perfectly
hardy fast grower-can be pruned
to suit the fancy without the least
danger; and though in winter it be-
comes.somewhat rusty in appearance,
it soon casts this aside when spring
opens, and puts on for the season its
compact, graceful living green. The
objection to it is that it will not do
unless it has plenty of sun, nor will
the other arbor vitas.
The Norway spruce is occasionally
used for hedges, but it requires great
attention to pruning to keep it with~
in proper bounds, and then it is only
adapted to large lawns or fields. 1t
is quite out ofplace where the space
is contracted.
There is nothing that adds more to
the adornmont Of premises, after well
cultivated evergreen trees, than these
perpetually-leaved hedges. But just
in the same proportion that they are
attractive are they the reverse if not
properly managed.
As TO the time of setting out hedg>
es, we prefer from the middle OF
March to the middle of May. They
can, however, be set out in any OF
autumn months, a period which is
much approved of by some nursery
men. We have no doubt that it will
answer well enough, for there is nc
surer plant or tree to grow than the
family of evergreens.
