USEFUL ORNAMENTAL HEDGES 
Beautiful Hedges add much to the appearance of a property, and are, everywhere, coming into more general use. They look 
better than fences, last longer and cost less; when once established, they require only a little cultivation and pruning each year to 
keep them the desired shape and size. A fence is more trouble, a hedge grows better looking every year. These plants are also used 
for individual lawn specimens. See between the trees in the illustration.
