Vines and Hedges Cive a Home Distinctive Charm 
Page 55 
SHRUBS INCREASE HOME VALUES 
They combine the beautiful with the practical. They require no painting 1 . There is no 
upkeep cost. You can change the design by trimming. A nice hedge gives distinction to any 
home. They always attract attention. Hedging plants may be used for foundations or in 
group plantings. 
If a single row is desired, place plants 10 to 12 inches apart in the row. Double rows 
should be 18 inches apart, with the plants 18 inches apart in the row. Stagger the plants so 
they do not stand opposite each other. Tall growing hedge plants should be set 2 to 4 ft. 
apart. 
The small to medium type of evergreens may be very effectively used for hedges. See page 
62. That page also lists seedlings of various tree types that may be used for tall hedges 
and windbreaks.

Vines Add Charm and Beauty 
Vines give a charming natural beauty that 
cannot be equalled by any other plant. They 
have their practical value in giving luxurious 
shade. You can use them to cover or hide 
unsightly places fir to break the monotony 
of large wall surfaces. 
Often the soil near foundation walls is 
poor and vines do not do well under such 
circumstances. In such eases the vines may 
he set 2 or 3 ft. from the wall. When the 
shoots are long enough dig a shallow trench 
up to the wall, lay the shoots in this, letting 
the ends stick out in a fan-like shape. 
The vines here listed are permanent. They 
are two year—medium grade. Most suitable 
for producing quick results. Quick growing 
vines produced from seed may be found 
listed on page 22 of this catalog.
