HEDGES 
The idea of planting hedges for use as well as for ornament, 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 earlier, 
and that our fruit ripens better when protected by such screens. Nothing can be more beautiful than ornamental 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 Ornament 
Among the plants adapted to ornamental hedges, the American Arbor Vita and the Norway Spruce take the first 
place. We also recommend for more variety, the Siberian Arbor Vitas, Japan Quince, Althea, Barberry, Buckthorn, 
Privet, Tartarian Honeysuckle, Spiraeas, Deutzia, Philadelphus.
