THE TOWSONTOWN HEDGE and WIRE
FENCE COMPANY,
OfBaltimore, Carroll and Hartford counties,
will guarantee you the cheapest, best and
prettiest Fence ever made. We claim the
following advantage over all other systems of
hedging: We turn our stalks at an angle Of
80 degrees, commencing to plash in the centre
of fence. Therefore, as the stalks try to grow
straight, it gives us a backward pressure of =
pounds to the stalk, which makes our combi-
nation of hedge and wire substantial, by which
we neither t;isten the stalk to the wire or the
wire to the stalk-one supports the other.
All this we give you at the small price of 81
per rod. The farmer prepares his ground and
works the plants as he would corn Tor the
Company will prepare the ground for l0c per
rod extra, and will keep said hedge trimmed
for lc per rod afterwards for any number of
years.
PAYMENTS MADE EASY.

BE per rod the following spring when
replanled and side trimmed, if necessary; l0c
