SOME GENERAL INFORMATION 
for 
AGENTS AND CUSTOMERS 
FOR HEDGES, SCREENS AND SHELTER 
BELTS 
For Ornamental Hedges, Spirea Van Houttei, 
Spirea Froebelli, Hydrangea Paniculata Grandiflora, 
Rosa Rugosa, Amoor Privet North, Thunbergii Bar- 
berry and Lonicera Morrowi, Cotoneaster Acutifolia 
are being used quite extensively and with excellent 
satisfaction. For an evergreen hedge there is noth- 
ing better than Arbor Vita and Norway Spruce. 
For Screens — To cut off unsightly views, etc., such 
shrubs as Tatarian Honeysuckle, Philadelphus Gran- 
diflora, 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 sav- 
ing in fuel for the home and feed for the stock. By 
using medium sized trees for these belts, the expense 
is but little as compared to the benefit derived.
