Excerpt from History in a Back Yard

The character of the hedge as marking the di vision line is determined by its secondary object. Is this secondary object protection against the free passage of animals, the osage orange is called into requisition; is the land low and marshy and does it demand support, the willow hedge is set out; if wind and dust are special enemies, the hedge of evergreens results; if privacy is sought, the privet, the box, and the arbor vitae are in demand; if varied beauty is the ideal, the bar berry is planted. The hedge, to a greater extent than the wall and the fence, not only serves as a line of demarcation, but it also renders a second ary service of beauty scarcely less important than its primary one of indicating boundary lines.
