 of trees, where other plants would not exist.

 set 10 to 12 inches apart in the row — alternating the plants — while the larger sizes may be set 12 to 15 inches apart. In order to secure a dense hedge from the 

 base up, the plants should be severely pruned the first two seasons. Plants 18 to 24 inches, $3.00 per 100, $22.00 per 1,000. Plants 2 to 3 feet,
