Screens
A shrubbery or belt of fast-growing trees is termed a Screen, when planted for affording shelter to a garden, an orchard, or any separate part of a garden requiring protection from an unfavourable quarter. Gardens on the sea-coast invariably need a shelter or Screen from the wind and salt spray; this is generally provided by planting a belt of trees or shrubs that are known to succeed in such situations. The term also denotes anything erected or grown to hide an unsightly object from any particular point, such as from one of the principal walks in a garden. This may be done effectually, if only to a moderate height, by latticework, with Ivy or other creepers trained upon it, and more extensively by free-growing trees and evergreen shrubs. There are numerous methods of forming Screens; some are of general application, but there are many instances where special preparations have to be made to meet peculiar local requirements.
