| years ago we examined some of them and
| found, instead of continuous hedge fences,
| detached briar thickets along the lines,
some of them covering near half an acre of
| land, and extending about the same dis
| lance in every direction from a common
center
Some ten years ago we took possession of
place in the Alabama cotton belt, upon
which was a Mccartney rose hedge about
eight years old. 1t was. tangled mass
measuring more than thirty feet through.
That hedge was so thickly populated with
rabbits as to bring failure upon all our
efforts at truck farming until we had hired
! it cleared out at 4 cost not any below what
would have been amply sufficient to clear
the entire farm, originally, from ordinary
woodland.
Then the hedge had no redeeming quail
ties that we were able TO detect, unless it
should be that cattle or horses might not
have liked to cross il. though they could
easily have done so at many points. For the
razor back hog it was regular picnic. You
would see him enter the briars near one
made any stir about it and he heard any
thing going on outside. you wouldn't hear
anything inside for time. He'd stand in
his tunnel and listen for YOU. Finally when
he thought the coast must be clear, you'd
see him pop out On the truck-patch side
hundred feet or so beyond the point at
which he had entered.
@bo Il
as an ornamental hedge plant depends
wholly upon the amount of attention and
work one was willing to bestow upon it.
The grub-hoe and the pruning shears would
need to be ever ready. Without 4 liberal
use of the grub-hoe it would soon take the
grounds or our rich Texas lands, and with
out liberal use of the pruning shears it
would soon become mere scragsling
brush-heap. The Texas lady who wrote
that article for a New York paper had evil
IDENTIFY been depending more on some of the
old nursery catalogues for her information
than upon her own personal experience and
observation. Lots of our agricultural and
horticultural literature is made that way.
With the Mccartney rose constant vigil
ance would be the price OF an ornamental
hedge. Under the effects of such vigilance
a passable ornamental hedge might be
made of it, but we could never recommend
it for an ornamental hedge so long as there
was any other character of ornamental
hedge plant to be had. And should it be
adopted we would recommend that placards
be hung along the inside after the manner
of the ''fresh paint placard of the paint
ers, but carrying ''thorns" as the legend.
Doubtless you can get the Mccartney
rose at almost any Southern nursery, and
doubtless the uurseryman who has it for
sale will show it off in light differing
materially from the foregoing. But we
don't think you could do much with it from
cuttings, as it don't grow well from cut
tings under ordinary circumstances. The
nurseryman would sell you rooted plants.
1t would be apt to succeed in your religion.
