A screen planting that is most inexpensive. It consists of Peach trees and a hedge of Great Panicled Hydrangea, 

 his effect was produced in three years with stock from our Nurseries. Hydrangeas are listed on page 74. Being 

 deciduous nature, this screen is effective only during the open months. 



Evergreens are frequently used for screening purposes, as they are equally effective the year round, 

 he slender habit of the Arborvitae (page 26) adapts it especially for this purpose when the screen is to be 

 f the nature of a tall hedge. Norway Spruce (page 16j is often used in the same way. When the straight 

 nes of a hedge are to be avoided an irregular grouping can be effectively used very much like that shown 

 our illustration.
