ORNAMENTAL HEDGE PLANTS— FOR EVERY 

 GARDENER 



NO fence that was ever built or planned can equal in attrac- 

 tiveness, for division lines or for street protection, a hedge 

 of ornamental growth. Not only does the living boundary need 

 no repair, but it grows in beauty from year to year. It is best 

 to plant a hedge in December, but if unavoidable delay has occurred 

 it is not too late to take advantage of the rifts in the February 

 clouds and to plant out those shrubs, both deciduous and ever- 

 green, those Roses and those hedge plants that are required in 

 the garden plan, feeling sure of good results from even the late start. 



Clipped standards of Cerasus caroliniana, or Wild Olive, give distinction to this Ligustrum 



amurense hedge
