HEDGES 
IT is quite certain that in the Home Landscape of to-morrow, 
more and more use will be made of the hedge. In days gone by, 
it was considered un-neighborly to enclose the garden, but now, 
in these days of hustle and bustle, it is a great relief to have some 
secluded spot where the world is completely shut out and the 
home owner may relax or enjoy himself without being observed 
by passer-by. 
The hedge accomplishes this in a most satisfactory way. It can 
be one of the most beautiful as well as useful features in the H ome 
Landscape. Formerly the list of plants recommended and sold for 
hedges was very brief. Privet and Barberry probably make up 
ninety percent of the hedges planted until a comparatively few 
years ago. Since then, much more thought has been given the 
subject and with splendid results. We are glad to list here some 
of the best plants for deciduous and evergreen hedges:
