DIRECTIONS FOR SETTING. 



Evergreens must be handled with care; so as not to allow the roots to become 

 dried by the wind. Plants for hedges being generally set when quite small, should 

 be placed about 9 inches apart — larger sized plants will require more space. 



Honey Locust and Osage Orange are generally planted in double rows, about 9 

 inches apart. 



PRUNING-. 



Evergreens should be pruned in spring, just before they commence growing. 

 Summer pruning may be practiced on the Arbor Vitce should the growth be too 

 rapid.
