A Hedge is more Appropriate than a Fence and more Attractive for a Border. 
The idea of plantingf hedges for use and ornament, and screens 
for the protection of orchards, farms and gardens, is a prac- 
tical one and rapidly becoming appreciated. Nothing can be 
more beautiful than ornamental hedges, 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. By 
using medium sized plants a hedge can be made as cheaply as 
a good board fence can be built. With a little care, it be- 
comes every year more and more "a thing of beauty." Such 
hedges constitute a principal attraction in our best kept places.
