SIX] WINDBREAKS AND HEDGES 



a sidewalk, your hedges may easily give a cool, 

 arbor-like pathway. One of my own leads to an 

 inclosure, where is found a well, useful for water- 

 ing the lawn. Over the well is trained an arbor of 

 grapes. Hedges for screens are of great impor- 

 tance. This is not only to cover the disagreeable, 

 but to secure quiet nooks and inclosures for wells, 

 hotbeds, and reservoirs. These, although not un- 

 pleasant suffixes of a home, cannot be made to 

 blend pleasantly into general lawn work.
