from now until the buds fully start in the

where large proportion of the top is to be
removed, there is no safer period for doing
the work, except the latter part of Winter
or early Spring. AS the present is a COM

look after the hedges, so that other import
ant work may not be interfered with later
in the season. Western Rural.
