Or you may need a small one less than a foot high, such as the Korean box (Buxus microphylla 'Koreana'), to mark the edges of flower beds or borders, The average family, however, will choose a hedge for dividing their lot from their neighbor's and will prefer one that may eventually reach a_height of four feet and can be kept trim- med to that size. This kind of hedge does not suggest com- plete aloofness but provides a good background for the gar- den while still allowing the usual neighborly exchange of current news and events. You must also decide whether the hedge is to be an evergreen one or one that loses its leaves each winter.

BUCKLEY Piast Research Institute Sooner or later the new such as the white cedar (Thuja occidentalis) provides a screen all the year round, whereas a deciduous hedge is rather un- attractive in winter unless it has colorful twigs, such as those of the red-stemmed wil- low (Salix alba 'Chermesina') or the yellow-twigged dogwood (Cornus Stolonifera 'Flavir- amea'). Deciduous hedges on the whole, however, will with- stand heavy snowfalls much better than some of the ever- green types. WHITE CEDAR Many eastern Canadians pre- fer the white cedar, or arbor- vitae. It is evergreen, can be clipped to any shape, will grow four or five feet high, and has a very pleasing turpentine odor. It owes most of its popularity to the fact that it can often be obtained from a local farmer at a price so reasonable as to ren- der all other evergreen hedges out of the question, and plants can be bought at the height de- sired. Of course, you usually have to go out to the farm, dig the plants yourself, and provide transportation. Many other evergreens are even more attractive but be- cause of their slow growth in the nursery the price is pro- hibitive to many people. For example, the hedge in the Plant Research Institute's hedge collection that rates high- est in the evergreen group is the Sawara cypress (Chamae- cyparis pisifera 'Filifera') but nurseries only sell the plant for dation ing at $3.00 or $4.00 each. The same is true of the Japanese yew (Taxus cus- pidata), which makes an excel- lent refined hedge that can be shaped like buttresses or pil- lars or even clipped into the form of an animal or bird. The native hemlock (Tsuga cana- densis), too, although somewhat slow in growth, makes a beau- tiful dark-green hedge of im- penetrable thickness. Deciduous hedges are consid- erably less expansive than the| evergreen types and grow much faster. Here, however, one must use restraint, for the faster a hedge grows the more clipping it will need, and you can soon become a slave to your hedge clippers if the cheap, fast- growing kinds of plants are used.
