FOR SHELTER AND SCREENS. 



We place the Norway Spruce first. Its robust habit, rapid, dense growth (when 

 properly sheared or pruned), large size and entire hardiness, are characteristics not 

 easily to be obtained in any other Evergreen. 



The American Arhor Vitce conies next, and is particularly valuable either for 

 shelter or screens. 



For belts to be used as shelter, the Pines are useful and ornamental. 



DEFENSIVE HEDGES. 



For turning cattle and as a farm hedge for general purposes, the Haney Locust, in 

 this locaUty, and farther North, is the most valuable. It is of rank, vigorous growth, 

 perfectly hardy, and thrives with ordinary care and is sufficiently thorny to be im- 

 penetrable. It bears the shears with impunity, and can be grown in any desired 

 form. South of us, the Osage Orange is in great favor, but it is not hardy enough 

 to be serviceable here. 



DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING. 



Evergreens must be handled with care, so as not to allow the roots to become dried 

 by the wind. Plants for hedges being generally set when quite small, should be 

 placed about 9 inches apart — larger sized plants will require more space. 



Honey Locust and Osage Orange are generally planted in double rows, about 9 

 inches apart. 



PRUNING. 



Evergreens should be pruned in spring, just before they commence growing. 

 Summer pruning may be practiced on the Arbor Vitce should the growth be too 

 rapid.
