EAUTY and comfort are found in sheltered 
places. Wind is the first enemy of the gar- 
dener. Hedges offer a wide variety of protection— 
from the masonry evergreen effect of Yew and 
Hemlock to the plumey tall screen of Poplars. 
Cost depends almost entirely upon the size of 
plant used—never plant an inferior k/nd of hedge 
because the best kind seems costly. Rather plant 
the right kind in small sizes. 

Hedges Must Grow 
No hedge can be kept permanently at any fixed height— 
they must be allowed to keep some new growth. Usu- 
ally an inch a year is enough—or more can be allowed 
if desired. When a hedge is old and large, the only 
thing to do is to prune very severely and then let the 
soft new growth come back for a year. 

Two hedges: Thuja and Poplars
