planted Medlar, Sloe, Quince, Wild Rose, Sweet Brier, 

 Wild Raspberry, and, here and there, Virgin's Bower 

 and other Clematises, and the large Bindweed, which 

 could do no harm there. This fence is meant to be 

 a good shelter as well as a division, and such fences 

 should not be clipped if their shelter is to be 

 thought of. They are also much more beautiful 

 undipped, and where planted on the cold sides of 

 orchards or fields are valuable for the warmth and 

 shelter they give. The Holly in such positions, 

 carrying garlands of Wild Rose, is very beautiful.
