Description
Excerpt from Hedges and Their Uses: With Notes on Trees and Shrubs Tested for Hedge Purposes at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, and Lists of Best Hedges at the Branch Experimental Stations
The collection Of hedges at the Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa, is the largest with which the writer is familiar. Since the planting of sample hedges was begun in 1889 no less than 136 species and varieties Of trees and shrubs have been tested for hedge purposes and in 1929 there were still 84 hedges growing at the Central Farm for comparison. In addition, there are several miles of hedges, mainly Of American Arbor-vitae, to form enclosures and for borders along roads.
Hedges have been made a special feature on nearly all Of the Dominion Experimental Stations, although at some of the newer ones the number planted has been limited mainly to those found most satisfactory at the Older Stations where the climate was somewhat similar.
