HEDGE PLANTS 
The usefulness of suitable hedges for both ornament and defense is now everywhere 
appreciated To secure a good hedge it is necessary to plant well. Dig a wide deep trench 
and work the sod thoroughly mto the roots. Stamp the ground firmly so that each plant 
will be set solidly as a post then mulch heavily with loose strawy manure for a distance of 
from one to two feet on each side, according to the size of the plants. This precaution is 
especially necessary with Evergreens. 
EVERGREEN HEDGE PLANTS. American Arbor Vitae, Norway Spruce, Hemlock land 
l^ines are used for hedges. See description of each under Evergreens.
