Design and improvement of school grounds . hedge can. be made of wax myrtle or of yopon, the latter requiringclipping if a dense hedge is desired. In clipped hedges the shapes most used are shown in figures 7 to 10from end view; square top and sides (fig. 7), symmetri-cally rounded (fig. 8), arched to a ridge (fig. 9), slant-ing top with flat sides (fig. 10). Probably the bestform, considering looks, labor and upkeep and healthygrowth of the plant, is the arched shape (fig. 9).Figures 6, 11 and 12 give side views of different forms: the simple levelline of fig. 12, the square extension blocks

Rapid growing hedgeslike Amoor River privet (so-called, Ligustrum chinense,) must beclipped several times during the growing season if they are to be keptdense and neat. Fig. 10.
