102 ELLWANGER & BARRY'S CATALOGUE. 



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 nine inches apart — larger sized plants will require more space. 



Hoiiey Locust and Osage Orange are generally planted in double rows, about nine 

 inches apart. 



PRUNING. 



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

 mer pruning may be practiced on the Arbor Vitce should the growth be too rapid.
