FOR ORNAMENT The Siberia?i Arbor Vitfs, in our opinion, takes the precedence among Evergreens as an Ornamental Evergreen Hedge Plant. Its thrifty, compact gro%\-th, fine form, great hardihood and deep green color, which its foliage retains throughout the year, adapt it especially for dividing lines between lawns or gardens, or for hedges along streets or avenues. The American Arbor , though not quite so ornamental in character, being less dense ingrowth and spreading in habit, forms a handsome hedge. It may be obtained at less cost than any other Evergreen hedge plant. With careful prunmg the Xoncay Spruce may be kept lr)w and in good shape, and grown in this manner is highly ornamental. The Hemlock is a very beautiful Evergreen Hedge Plant. Berberis Thunbergii and Rosa Rugosa are very desirable for low hedges. FOR SHELTER AND SCREENS For planting in belts to afford shelter from violent winds, or for concealing unsightly objects or views, or for boundary lines, we recommend the Xoriray Spruce and Austrian, White and Scotch Pines. Their robust habit, rapid, dense growth, and entire hardiness are characteristics not easily to be found in other Evergreens. The American Arbor Vitw also is particularly valuable, either for shelter or screens. DEFENSrV E HEDGES For turning cattle and as a farm
