Wind-Breaks 
Following along this subject, 
we naturally reach the more 
specific use of shrubbery for 
Wind-Breaks. 
Are the cold, penetrating 
winds of Winter permitted to 
rush with unbroken force 
against your house from the 
north and west? If so, it may 
be that not infrequently you 
are forced to inconvenience 
and considerable unnecessary 
expense in keeping your home 
at a comfortable temperature. 
Also the snow is apt to be 
blown about the house in un- 
gainly, troublesome drifts, 
covering paths and giving a 
generally forlorn, bleak ap- 
pearance to the entire place 
— something as is pictured in 
Sketch No. 12. 
If such is the case, it is entirely unnecessary. There is a very simple but certain 
preventive available. Plant a high hedge, or Wind-break, of Framingham Evergreens, as 
shown in Sketch No. 13.
