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. Address at FLUSHING, N. Y.
