A Mew Hedge-l s lsnt.
PARSONS & CO. offer tlte
CRBT/ESUS,
aud recommend it as the best hedge-plant known. It is
evergreen, hardy against the severest drought, more
beautiful than the old pyracantha, and so close, thor
ny, and strong, that a chicken could not get through,
and cattle would not attack it twice. Its roots do not
spread widely like the Osage Orange, and if its top is
neglected for several years, it can he readily trimmed
into shape again. Its flowers in June, and its berries
in autumu, are both very showy.
It can be kept down to a toot for borders, or can be
grown six feet high for farm fences
It has yet no insect enemy. Having tested it in va
rious ways for fitteen years, we feel entirely safe in
asserting that it meets all the requirements tor a per
fect hedge, and must inevitably supersede all others.
The plants being excitable in the early spring, should
be put out in the autumn. They should be planted
two feet apart, and will make a compact tence in four
years. They are offered at $ 100 per thousand, which
will make 5 cents per foot, and cheaper than any oth
er fence for farm purposes.
