DECIDUOUS HEDGE PLANTS 
To secure a good hedge it i3 necessary to plant well. Dig a wide, deep trench, and work 
the soil thoroughly into the roots. Stamp the ground firmly so that each plant will be set 
as solidlv as a post, then mulch heavily with loose manure for a distance of one to two feet 
on either side, according to the size of the plants. This is especially necessary with 
Evergreens, and all exposure of the roots to the sun and air must be strictly avoided, 
greens should not be planted in the Fall.
