HEDGE PLANTS 
There are many plants that can be used as a hedge. The Privet hedge makes 
the most formal of any and can be kept trimmed almost to any shape desired. The 
shrubs for hedging are of a lighter grade than those offered as plants for the 
garden, and where one wants a taller growing' hedge, the shrubs should be used
