||CREENS for the purpose of secluding service buildings, 
fences and other unsightly objects may be secured by the 
use of suitable evergreens, deciduous trees or tall-growing 
shrubs, and also vines. The height of the object to be 
hidden will determine the class of plants to be used. When 
there is sufilicient area the purpose can usually be accomplished by 
grouping the plants in a way that will not betray the purpose in view. 
When this is feasible any species may be used. Thuya occidentalis and 
var. pyramidalis and Picea excelsa are suitable for a tall-growing screen. 
If the height of the screen need not exceed 10 or 12 feet, and the space 
available for the plants is limited, it can be accomplished speedily by the 
use of our metallic trellis and suitable vines. A very satisfactory screen, 
high or low, and one answering every purpose of a hedge, may be 
secured in this way with economy. The Lonicera, being almost evergreen 
in Dayton, is a desirable vine for this purpose. Other vines are quite 
suitable, such as the Clematis paniculata, Akebia, Ampelopsis. Periploca 
and Tecoma. 
Hedges proper may be formal "or informal in their character, and if 
a choice may be exercised, the form mo.st in harmony with surrounding 
landscape effects should be chosen.
