Hedges 
Cotoneaster Hedge 
The clean-appearing, glossy leaves and 
robust growth make this hedge a favorite. 
^HE cheapest wall or fence and the best is the 
living hedge. It does not need to be painted as 
it gives itself a new coat every year. A hedge will 
effectively screen out undesirable views or shut out 
trespassers. Plant a hedge where you need a fence. 
Listed below you will find hedge plants suited for all 
purposes and locations. Our plants are grown in the 
open nursery rows where they have been given ample 
room for both root and top development. 
PLANTING THE HEDGE 
When Buckthorn, Cotoneaster and Caragana are 
used, plant 8 to 10 inches apart in single row, or if 
a very heavy hedge is wanted plant 12 inches apart 
in a double row, planting rows 6 to 8 inches apart, 
plants staggered. 
The remainder of the plants listed on this page 
should be planted one foot apart in a single row. 
Do not fail to trim every plant immediately after 
planting to at least one-half its original size. Leav¬ 
ing only the lower one-fourth would be still better. 
The secret of securing a dense hedge is to cause the 
plants to branch out near the ground by trimming 
as advised above.

DOGWOOD, SIBERIAN. (Cornus Siberica). There is 
some demand for this plant for hedge use on ac¬ 
count of its attractive red bark. As the plant grows 
older, however, it becomes thin at the bottom and 
is not perfectly satisfactory.

LILAC, Common Purple or White. (Syringa Vulgaris). 
Though this plant yields readily to trimming, it is 
best suited for use as a hedge where it may be left 
untrimmed. The lovely flowers, one of its chief at¬ 
tractions, would not be produced if trimming was 
done. Should be planted only where the plants will 
have room to grow quite large. Please specify 
color wanted.
