It is quite often that plantings are required in the 
shade of the house or under large trees. The following 
shrubs will grow in shade and give good results. In 
places that have been shaded for a considerable time 
Weigela Rosea 
the soil often becomes sour, and few varieties of 
shrubs or plants will thrive in it without the applica¬ 
tion of lime to counteract the acidity. 
Japanese Barberry; Sumac, in variety; Flowering 
Currant; Forsytliia; Choke Cherry; Coralberry; Vibur¬ 
nums; Red-barked Dogwood; Hydrangea Arborescens;

Plants Suitable for Hedging... 
The following varieties of trees and shrubs are recom¬ 
mended for planting for ornamental hedges. Plant* 
should be set from 8 to 12 inches apart, according to the 
height hedge wanted. And if it is desirable to have the 
hedge very thick at the bottom they should be set in 
double rows. 
Prepare the ground for a hedge by spading full 10 
inches deep and a space 3 feet wide, the length required, 
and set the plants in the middle of the spading and 
keep well cultivated the first year. All plants, except 
evergreens, should be cut back to within 3 or 4 inches 
of the ground after planting, to make them branch low. 
The following kinds may be sheared to any desired 
form: 
EVERGREENS, Arborvitae and Hemlock Spruce. 
SHRUBS, the Privets and Japanese Barberry.
