The morning news. [volume] (Savannah, Ga.) 1887-1900, 1892-05-15

We were shown beautiful sample OF the
celebrated hedge fence by Mr.. N. W. ARM
strong, the local manager OF the Georgia
Hedge Fence Company, who has been in
our city since Jan. l. The Georgia Hedge
Company claims to take the two failures
In fencing, viz; Osage orange and wire
and makes perfect scientific hedge fence,
and without doubt they have illustrated
this fact right here in Savannah, for the
sample we saw was an old hedge In front
Of Mr.. Charles Sellers place at Concordia
park, and when found by Mr.. Armstrong
was an unsightly failure in the way of a
fence that was set fourteen years ago and
only since Jan. l, last, this uusightly row of
trees has been Transformed by the system OF
the Georgia Hedge Company into beau
tiful fence four feet high. We were also
shown young hedge set around Mr.. Charles
+. Prendergast's residence. and this young
hedge, notwithstanding the unprecedented
drought, Is growing nicely. This hedge will
require to be cultivated and let grow for
two years before 1t is ready to be dwarfed
and FLASHED down. The company has also
set hedges for the following parties: Bona
venture cemetery, i mile; Catholic GENES
terry, one-half mile, Laurel Grove cemetery,
miles; Col. J. II. EstlIl, Il miles, Capt.
M. j. Doyle, half mile; w. L. Fennell,
one-half mile; E. J. Thomas, one-half mile ;
Mrs. Schuler, one-haf mile; Messrs. Cohen
Bros, one-eighth mile; Mrs Annie Blatz /,
one-half mile; G.. W. Ledbetter, one-hnlf mile.
r. #. Harmon one-half mile and at Gnyton
for Messrs. Tarver Davant and Nichols and
Kennedy.
Everybody who is interested In having
fences around their property that will be of
service, and also very ornamental, will be
satisfied By visit to Concordia park where
they will see demonstration of the fact
that the Georgia Hedge Fence Company oan
make it to their interest to invest in this
wonderful, convenient and beautiful fence.
Parties from all over the country ore
coming here to see the results of progress
and benefits OF the Usage orange fence, and
the following are a few of the testimonials
OF the opinions Of representative men who
have investigated the matter:
We know personally some of the active
stockholders af the South Carolina Hedge
Wire Fence Company, and therefore had
faith in the representations that they could
make good hedge fence, but the actual
demonstration Of 1t that we saw to-day
leaves us no room to doubt. The hedge we
examined near Savannah, Ga. was FLASHED
under the same system, and under the same
general management as that of the South
Carolina company. The canes Of the
hedge are inclined at an angle
horizontally along the hedge and firmly
stapled to each cane. This makes q COM
bined hedge and wire fence, and is most inn
penetrable TO all farm stock. The growth
of foliage induced by the process comes out
SO thick that one can scarcely see the wire
and canes. This growth, by a keen cutting
trimmer, which the company furnishes, can
be clipped by one man at tue rate Of one
mile per day. We witnessed some of this
trimming. We cannot doubt the practical
bility and utility of this fence without
doubling with equal consistency our own
existence.
"Seeing is believing" We have seen 1t,
and without reservation recommend it.
