hausted, IL IN probable that hedge fences will
he adopted. With view of the probability
of such an event great many experiments
have been tried, the majority of which have
proven comparative failures 80 far as relates
to the construction II practical hedges.
These failures have been the result OF va
rious causes, but have arisen chiefly from
neglect and want of knowledge ON the part If
the grower
But the fact that perfect and practical
hedges were grown and maintained for cen
turtles in the old world, stimulated the exer.
tions Of those who were earnest i'm their eff
forts To- bring some system 10 bear to make
them successful here.
1t is not our purpose at this time to dwell
upon the advantages o. our system of hedge
culture. nor the advantages of hedging on
general principles, as those are matters
which are left 10 the careful consideration of
intelligent and thinking men. But, as
hedge growers, we court investigation not
only as TO the feasibility of our plan, but as to
the integrity of our intentions and our abili-
~ to successfully prosecute the work in
which we are engaged,
Our method OF hedge culture las been the
result OF % years of practical experience as
hedge growers. during which period be-
lieve csn safely say that we have thorough
ly tested every variety of hedge plant of
which we have any knowledge, and every
manner of treatment which has been re-
commended by others or suggested by our
own judgment, and find the Usage Orange
10 be far superior 10 any other plant which
we have tested. There seems To be no ques-
tion as to its longevity and endurance, as is
evidenced 10y the existence of hedges in
Pennsylvania, Maryland and other states,
which have already attained an age of from
rs to 100 years and show no signs of decay,
and in our own state many hedges were
planted 25 and 80 years ago which are in a
perfectly healthy condition and still appar-
emily in their infancy.
We are free to admit that il is waste of
time and money to plant hedge of any
kind IL it is 10 be neglected, but the same
rule applies TO every undertaking. And that
that the annual prunings can be easily and
cheaply given is fully evidenced 10y the in
vestigations and reports of our own people.
There are many who are honestly opposed
to hedging for various reasons, many of
which have some foundation in fact, while
others are the result of an Unborn prejudice.
We certainly do not claim that it is with
out objections, but ask fair comparison of
its merits with other kinds of fencing.
We are prepared to furnish testimonials
from over five thousand of our patrons who
are prominent III agricultural and horsicul-
tural circles. and will gladly answer any ques-
ton which may occur 10 you to the best
OF our ability. l.. l.. leslie, Gen. Agent.
