GOOD HEDGE PLANTS. ^ 



Hedges are Jess used in this country 

 than in Europe, because of oar dry cli- 

 mate and high-priced labor. Hedges re- 

 quire to be frequently trimmed and 

 need considerable moisture, but these 

 things can easily be supplied in home 

 grounds of moderate size, and hedges 

 are used with excellent eifect on such 

 grounds. 



For a good hedge you must have thor- 

 oughly prepared, deep soil ; set the plants 

 close and shear them at least twice a 

 year. The National Council of Horticul- 

 ture says that for evergreen hedges the 

 most serviceable plant in general is the 

 arbor-vitjp. The plants may be set at 

 distances of one to two and one-half 

 feet apart. For choice hedges in home 

 grounds, especially outside the extreme 

 northern states, the retinosporas are use- 

 ful. 



One of the most satisfactory of all 

 coniferous plants for hedges is the hem- 

 lock, which stands shearing well and 

 makes a soft and pleasing mass. The 

 plants are set from one to three feet 

 apart. Other plants that hold their 

 leaves and are good for hedges are the 

 box and privet, the former especially. 

 Box hedges are best for low borders 

 about flower beds and bordering walks. 

 The dwarf varieties can be kept down 

 to a height of from six inches to a 

 foot for any number of years. The larger 

 growing kind makes excellent hedges, 

 three, four and five feet high. The 

 privet holds its leaves well into the win- 

 ter in the north. California privet holds 

 its leaves longer and stands better along 

 the seashore.
