For boundary, screen or barrier,there is nothing 
more pleasing than a hedge fence. With their bright 
green leaves, they constantly bring a feeling in¬ 
spired by the fresh foliage of spring. When formally 
trained or left to develop naturally, their arched branches, colored foliage and 
bright berries are surely more pleasing than the mechanical effect obtained by 
the similar use of wood or metal. Most hedges are permanent, and with the excep¬ 
tion of occasional shearing, they need little attention after being established. 
Every lawn should have a border - a frame.
