Hedges 
The idea of planting hedges for use as well as for orna- 
ment, for the protection of orchards, farms and gardens, 
is a practical one, and rapidly becoming appreciated. 
They serve as a protection against winds and prevent the 
blowing off of fruit. We know that our gardens are ear- 
lier, and that our fruits ripen better when protected by 
such screens. Nothing can be more beautiful than orna- 
mental hedges of evergreens, or shrubs, well kept and 
pruned to serve as boundary lines or as divisions 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 fence can be built, and then, with little 
care, it becomes every year more and more “a thing of 
beauty.” An attraction in our best-kept places. 
For Ornaiiiont. — Among the plants adapted to orna- 
mental hedges, the .\incrican .Vrhorvitiv and the Xoi-way 
Spriiot' take the first place. We also recommend for more 
variety. Hemlock, Siberian ArborvitiP. Japan Quinots Al-
