HEDGES AND SCREENS 
We receive so many iaquiries concerning suitable shrubs for plants 
ing as permanent hedges or screens, that we are induced to make special 
mention of a few of the most useful and ornamental sorts, in sizes practi- 
eable to such purposes. 
By using medium-sized plants a hedge can be made as cheaply as 
A good board fence, and then, with a little care, it becomes every year 
more and more a tiling of beauty. Such hedges continue as a principal 
attraction in our best kept places. Order early as plants should not be 
planted when in leaf.
