Hedge  Plants 
d^rnamental  Helige  plants 
'N  Ornamental  Hedge  Plants  we  offer  a  good  variety.  We  have 
given  this  branch  of  our  business  much  attention,  and  are  pre- 
pared to  offer  all  the  more  desirable  sorts.  Our  plants  are  strictly 
graded,  according  to  the  measurements  given,  and  well  rooted. 
In  planting  hedges  these  roots  should  be  given  trenches  wide 
enough  to  spread  them  out  flat,  and  good  top-soil  filled  in  about 
them.  This  last  is  especially  desirable  for  evergreen  hedge  plants, 
or  they  cannot  maintain  a  good,  rich  color.  Deciduous  hedge  plants,  as  a  general 
rule,  should  be  planted  from  6  to  I2  inches  apart;  evergreens  from  i  to  2  feet 
apart,  according  to  size.  Gardens  screened  by  evergreen  hedges  or  shelter  belts 
produce  vegetables  from  one  to  two  weeks  earlier  than  those  unprotected.
