A Box-Hedged Walk in Falmouth 
“Plants for “Hedges 
Hedges well maintained have a trimness and a 
touch of the architectural which is often appro- 
priate. They have the added advantage of compact- 
ness, and are effective in limited areas. 
Where space permits, it is often preferable to have, 
instead of a hedge, an informal border of various 
kinds of flowering shrubs, carefully arranged as to 
height at. maturity and well planned for variety and 
succession of bloom throughout the season. 
These selections lend themselves well to hedge 
uses. They are equally good, of course, grown nat- 
urally as specimens and in mixed plantings.
