HEDGES 
BEAUTIFY AS THEY SERVE 
F OR boundary, screen or barrier there is nothing more pleasing than a hedge. With their bright green 
leaves they bring a feeling, inspired by the fresh foliage of spring. Either when formally trained or left 
to develop naturally, their arched branches, colored foliage and bright berries are more pleasing than 
the mechanical effect obtained by the use of a wooden or metal fence. Most hedges are permanent and 
with the exception of occasional shearing they need little attention after being established. 
PLANTING— Spacing varies with the variety used, but, for most of them, 10 to 12 inches is the recom¬ 
mended distance. Honeysuckle, Dogwood, and Bridalwreath should be about 1 Yi feet apart. Most hedges 
should be severely pruned at the time of planting and after that an occasional shearing to keep it in shape 
is all that is necessary. 
ALPINE CURRANT (Ribes alpinum) —This is an 
exceptionally desirable hedge plant. It retains its 
dark green foliage very late in the fall. Stands 
trimming well and produces a very good hedge 
from 1 to 3 feet high. 18 to 24 in., $35.00 per 
100; 12 to 18 in., $25.00 per 100.
