A Hedge is more Appropriate than a Fence and more Attractive for a Border. 
The idea of planting hedges for use and ornament, and screens for the 
protection of orchards, farms and gardens, is a practical one and rapidlj' 
becoming appreciatc<l. . , ^ • j u ^ 
Thev serve not only as a protection agamst the fierce wmds, but there is 
much less trouble from the blowing off of the fruit. Some writci^ tell us 
that the temperature is warmer in the vicinity of evergreens. However 
this may be, we know that our gardens are earlier and our fruits "Pcn better 
when protected by nich screens. Nothing can be more beautiful than or- 
namental he<lges, well kept and pruned, to serve as a boundary line between 
neighbors, or as a division between the lawn and garden, or to hide unsightly 
places Bv using meilium sized plants a hedge can be made as cheaply as 
a good board fence can be built, and then, with a little care, it is becoming 
every year more and more "a thing of beauty." We all know that such 
hedges con.stitute a principal attraction in our best kept places.
