HEDGE PLANTS 


For ornamental hedges in the Garden, Cemetery or Lawn, no plant is so gener- 
ally and deservedly popular as the American Arbor Vite. Its perfect hardiness— 
freedom from insects and diseases—remarkable longevity, and the ease of training it into 
regular and beautiful shapes, recommend it especially for such purposes. For Orchards 
or Vineyards, where protection is desired from winds, we should recommend the Norway 
Spruce; for training into high, close screens, nothing could be more desirable. Both 
this and the Arbor Vite are of rapid, thrifty growth, will thrive almost any where, and 
readily bear transportation. 

The Privet is exceedingly appropriate for ornamental hedges, or division fences where 
not much exposed to cattle. It is a rapid grower and of very easy cultivation, requiring 
but little attention except in occasional clipping. 


We name also, several other plants, desirable in special locations :

Part I1.—PEHERPETUAL, OR REMONTANT ROSES. 


The perfect hardiness and Iong continued bloom of the roses belonging to this class, 
with their large double, fragrant flowers, recommend them especially tor general garden 
culture. They have been obtained mostly by hybridization between the old roses of the 
Damask class, and the Chinas and Bourbons, thus combining the hardy, vigorous growth 
of the former, with the everblooming qualities of the latter. They are now fast superseding 
the Garden or Summer Roses that make but one show of bloom during the season. To gain 
the most satisfactory success they require, es do all Roses, a rich, deep, well-drained soil 
and arather severe pruning in early Spring before the buds have started growth. It is 
also highly recommended to remove the plants every two or three years, pruning root and 
top, and enriching the old earth with a little loam, and well-1otted manure before 1e- 
plantin ¢.

The Hybrid Perpetuals constitute a class of wonderful extent and variety. For many

distinct sorts, and every season brings some valuable additions. They vary thiough all 
shades, from pure and blush white, to dark purplish crimson; are mostly very fragrant and 
regularly cupped, making altogether one of the most desirable classes in cultivaticn. They 
are perfectly Lardy with us, in any situation, yet in very exposed places a little winter pro- 
teclion will insure better bloom during the fo.lowing season.

VI.—_NOISETTE, 


The original characteristic of these roses was their habit of blooming in large corymbs 
or clusters, but by extended hybridization many new varieties have been introduced which 
have in some measure lost this tendency. Asa class they are rather more tender than the 
Bourbons, and will generally require winter protection, such as laying down and covering 
with leaves or straw. They are vigorous and luxuriant in growth, and produce an abund- 
ance of richly colored, highly fragrant blooms.

PHLOXES. 


A good collection of Phloxes might almost constitute a garden of themselves; so great 
is the variety of marking and coloring. Flowering at all seasons from spring to late fall, 
they array a garden in the most showy colors during a good portion of the year. The 
late blooming sorts are of rich shades of red and purple, making a fine contrast with our 
other autumnal flowers. They are all perfectly hardy, and will succeed well in almost 
any soil; it should not, however, be too dry.

The large, richly colored, cup-shaped flowers of the Tulip, finely striped and varie- 
gated in most striking and brilliant contrasts, form a most desirable ornament for any gar- 
den. Many of the double varieties are exceedingly full and handsome. 

Tulips should be planted in the fall, generally during October; and will afford an 
abundant show of bloom during April and May.

HYACINTHS. 


These are now so universally known and cultivated that any extended remarks or di- 
rections for management, are entirely superfluous. A few hints, however, may not be un- 
acceptable. If bedded out, they should have good fresh earth thoroughly incorporated 
with sand and a little manure, giving a rich, light porous soil. The bed shculd be prepared 
two weeks before planting, and the bulbs should be set from six to eight inches apart, and 
from three to four inches deep. 

For cultivation in glasses, use rain water. Place the bulb without touching the water, 
and keep in a dark place for a few weeks, until roots are developed to fill the glass moder- 
ately tull. The plant may then by degrees be inured to the light until it will flourish at 
the open window. ‘The double varieties are generally preferred for bed or pot culture, and 
the single for growing in glasses. i
