The Friendly Way 
Ftedges To Fence 
A thrifty, green hedge gives more character and beauty to home grounds than 
any fence ever devised. The first cost of a hedge is less than that of a fence, 
trimming costs less tnan painting; if the hedge is permitted to grow tall it shuts 
out unpleasant views and is decorative all the year. In cities a hedge is an effec- 
tive boundary marker, a wall of living green that protects the world within from 
the world without. The different hedge plants here listed are adapted to a variety 
of uses—and the plants themselves are in every way Hillenmeyer standard. Spirea Van Houttei
