FOR HEDGES, SCREENS AND SHELTER 
BELTS 
For Ornamental Hedges, Spirea Van Houttei, Spirea 
Froebelli, Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora, Rosa Ru- 
gosa, Amoor Privet North, Thunbergii Barberry and 
Lonicera Morrowi, Cotoneaster Acutifolia are being 
used quite extensively and with excellent satisfaction. 
For an evergreen hedge there is nothing better than 
Arbor Vita and Norway Spruce. 
For Screens — To cut off unsightly views, etc., such 
shrubs as Tatarian Honeysuckle, Philadelphus Grandi- 
flora, and Common Lilac work in very nicely. These 
will attain a height of 8 to 10 feet. Where a taller 
screen is desired, Laurel-Leaf Willow, Chinese Elm, 
Lombardy Poplar, and Evergreens may be used. 
Shelter Belts — Spruces and Pines are the best for 
this purpose. Planted on the north and west side of 
buildings, they shut out the cold winter winds and 
make all more comfortable, to say nothing of the 
saving in fuel for the home and feed for the stock. 
By using medium sized trees for these belts, the ex- 
pense is but little as compared to the benefit derived.
