SPEAKING OF HEDGES
BY LIMA r. ROSE.

More and more the hedge is coming
into its own. For miles and miles
along the New Jersey coast, reaching
from Atlantic Highlands to Sea Girt,
Is the most continuous stretch of
country homes in America. Million
aires, near-millionaires, people with
money and people who are merely COM
Portable have made this region u show
place of never-ending interest There
are more millionaires among the home
owners of this one spot than the en-
tire realm of England holds.
They have discarded the fence al
most entirely and mile after mile of
privet comes into view as one motors
along the smooth, beautifully kept
roads.
There are also, in the Pacific region,
hedges of geraniums five feet high,
hedges of Gala lilies and of roses, but
the substantial, serviceable evergreen
hedge is the last word for elegance and
utility, and the New Jersey coast Of
fnrs the best possible field for its
study.
Here is how the landscape garden
ers of this section handle the plants
Before the plants are brought to the
ground n quantity OF top soil is pro-
cured for the purpose OF filling In
about the roots. They need lots of
| moisture to keep them healthy and to
maintain the rich green color. Then
The transplanting is done in the spring
and the plants are handled with care
to prevent the roots from being dried
out by the wind.
The evergreens that run from 10 to
"a inches are set from to II inches
apart. The larger plants can be placed
with 1S-lnch intervals.
In order that the evergreens may be
bushy they are pruned when planted.
ana this makes the subsequent shaping
of the hedge easy. The spring time is
taken for the pruning, because the
plants are then resuming their growth
and the process finds its best results.
Starting at the beginning, the first
thing TO do is to dig trench wide
enough not to cramp the roots. so that
they can spread fiat and not touch the
sides. Then plenty of well-rotted stable
manure is worked in the trench with
the soil. After the planting "a coating
Of manure is placed on the surface Of
the soil, covering all of the earth that
has been disturbed. This mulch is left
In place for year, and is then usual
~ worked into the soil.
Where double-row hedges are re-
quired the plants are set in rows six
to nine inches apart and the plants
from g to 1G inches apart in the rows.

men, this bureau has given service A
goodly number have been taken into
the service of the Council of National
Defense as rained volunteer specialists
for its various boards and for secre-
tarieS.
Through its instrumentality also
hundreds have entered the Aviation
Corps of the United States Army, while
those who have undertaken work with
the Ambulance Corps will number close
TO 1000.
Young men well adapted by technical
training and taste for work with the
railroads have been requisitioned from
this source for service on the strategic
railways used in the transportation Of
troops and food supplies
A query presented to a prominent
official of the government concerning the
value of this bureau to the country's vast
war machinery had this reply:
ut is doing valuable work, and the
finest thing about the whole situation
is the undeniable worth of the idea
that underlay the organization of the
colleges and technical schools of the
country into the intercollegiate intel
ligence bureau. There is not the slight

cd either in regard to the men or the
position.
