HEDGES 
The popularity of hedges is increasing. Persons are more and more 
desirous of having privacy on their home grounds. There are, necessarily, 
many sorts of hedges—the excluding, thorny hedge grown for a needed 
purpose; the low bordering hedge for dividing the formal garden; the 
boundary hedge which merely indicates how far the lot extends; the tall 
background hedge to shut out unfavorable views; the windbreak hedge as 
a protection for the home or farm yard—all these hedges to serve a useful 
purpose or to embellish a garden area. 
The following varieties are all hardy and dependable for Minnesota
