HEDGE PLANTS. 
To secure a good hedge it is 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 solidly 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. Evergreens should not be planted in the Fall.
