Hedge Laying And Fencing PDF Download

Excerpt from Hedges, Windbreaks, Shelters and Live Fences: A Treatise on the Planting, Growth and Management of Hedge Plants for Country and Suburban Homes My object will not be to say everything that can be said about my topic, but succinctly and clearly to give necessary information. I shall especially not undertake to create an enthusiasm for hedge plant ing; knowing well that where such a tendency is aroused it must be well sustained or the results will soon be a disgrace to our farms and rural residences. I shall keep this continually in view to stimulate my readers, and through them the American public, to a higher conception of the beautiful in home-making. The truly beautiful cannot be established by making a fad of any one Sort of utilities, or of ornaments like arbors, or of ornamental utilities like hedges. It is by a judicious and thoughtful use of all that nature provides that we make our surroundings the best, It is especially desirable that we learn to dis covers - to see - what nature freely offers us; for often the most glorious as well as the most valuable things are overlooked, while the inferior are cultivated.
