PLANTS SUITABLE FOR HEDGES AND WINDBREAKS- 

 WALLS OF LIVING GREEN! 



During late years, old-fashioned fences have gone decidedly out of fashion. The first cost 

 of setting out a "live fence" is, in most cases, not nearly as great as that of erecting a cumber- 

 some barrier of dead wood and the upkeep is much smaller. ''Dead" fences need repairing and 

 painting, while "live" ones don't! All good reasons for setting out more hedge plants.
