Hedges and Screens 
We receive so many inquiries concerning suitable shrubs for planting 
a.s permanent hedges or screens, that we are induced to make special men- 
tion of a few of the most useful and ornamental sorts, in sizes practicable 
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 thing of beauty. Such hedges continue as a principal at- 
traction in our best kept plat ' ' 
planted when in leaf.
