Hedg es and Screens 
ASK FOR CIRCULAR NO. 5 
The value of the Hedge is appreciated by discriminating 
planters. The cost does not exceed that of an ordinary fence, 
which begins to deteriorate at once, whereas a hedge, with 
proper care, continually increases in value and beauty. The 
effect of living plants is greatly to be preferred to the stiff 
and measured lines of fences of whatever kind. 
A Hedge, defensive or ornamental, or both, high, low or 
of medium height, may be secured by the selection of suit- 
able plants. 
Boundary lines of city lots may be effectively marked by a 
hedge, a vin-eclad screen, and also by irregular groups of flow- 
ering shrubs, if care is exercised to associate together the 
proper species. 
Screens to seclude service buildings, fences, etc., or to 
secure privacy, are readily secured by proper planting, and 
not only serve the purpose admirably, but add greatly to the 
beauty of the grounds. The desired purpose is often effectu- 
ally and more quickly accomplished by the use of suitable 
vines. Our construction department is prepared to erect trellis 
and vine supports suitable for screens.

There are few things more effective in landscape work 
than this class of plants. They are strong, rapid growers in 
almost any soil. During the close of summer they come into 
bloom and are most showy and ornamental with their large 
flower-plumes. The Arundos are straight and erect and the 
grasses slender and graceful. 
They annually increase in beauty and give so much satis- 
faction that we do not hesitate to recommend them.
