PLANTS FOR WINDBREAKS AND SCREENS 



In order to break the sweep of high winds it is necessary to plant closely, 

 and to use such trees and shrubs as leaf out early in Spring and retain their 

 foliage until late Autumn. The individual value of any tree or shrub as a 

 thing of beauty must not be considered, so that the various kinds used should 

 be allowed to crowd each other with their branches intermingling. The trees 

 will, of course, be the main factor in sheltering, but it will often be found 

 necessary to clothe the base of trees with flowering shrubs. If the planting 

 is to shelter a refined lawn area, a better class of shrubs can be used on the 

 inside of the belt, which should be composed mainly of the following plants: 



Trees

Red Maple, Acer rubrum. Red Cedar, Juniperus virginiana. 



Sugar Maple, Acer saccharinum. Norway Spruce, Picea excelsa.

PLANTS FOR FORMAL HEDGES 



All plants or trees selected for this purpose must, of necessity, be of a more 

 or less twiggy nature with an abundance of branches, and also be amenable 

 to close shearing. If the hedge is to be a barrier, the various thorny subjects 

 will best answer the purpose, while for an ornamental hedge, the Beech, 

 Hornbeam or any of the evergreens are more suitable. Whatever is used, the 

 pruning should be severe for a year or so, in order to force a good growth 

 from the ground up. The last shearing should be done not later than August 

 or early September, so that there will be little or no young growth to withstand 

 the following Winter. The distance of planting will depend upon the material 

 used and the aim in view. It is, however, generally advisable to use smaller 

 plants and set them close together, rather than to use larger plants at a greater 

 distance. No matter what size is used, the plants should be allowed to touch, 

 and if a broad hedge is desired, plant a double row, setting the plants in the 

 second row alternately with those in the first.
