Evergreen Hedges 
THEN winter winds blow there 
/ is protection and warmth from 
Evergreens only. Moreover, 
the dark green makes a fine back¬ 
ground for the display of flowering- 
beauty that spring and summer bring. 
A few of the best hedges are pictured 
here, but write us your problem and 
we will write you our recommen¬ 
dations for definite cases. 
Japanese Yew 
How Far Apart to Plant 
for Hedges? 
The best results are obtained from 
evergreens 12 to 24inches high,planted 
18 inches apart. Plants from 2 to 4 feet 
high should be set 2 feet apart. Plants 
4 to 6 feet high should be set 21^ to 3 
feet apart. 
JAPANESE YEW HEDGE 
This is the hardiest of the Yews (See page 19) 
and should give to America the fine hedges 
the English Yew gives to Europe. It continues 
putting on new growth all summer, so may be 
pruned with sharp knife or shears at any time. 
Allow it to grow about two to four inches each 
year—no more. Keep the bottom wider than 
the top. 
A HEDGE OF HEMLOCK— 
Soft and Dense 
One of the finest Evergreen Hedges. Trim 
it so as to be wide at the bottom and narrow 
at top. Can be sheared at any time during 
summer. Allow it to grow 4 to 6 inches a year 
—cut off the rest of the new growth. To avoid 
a formal effect, prune in June or early July, 
so that late summer growth will hide the 
wounds. 
ARBORVITAE (Thuja) 
This makes a fine hedge in the North. Prune 
anj - time during the Summer. Cut inside the 
surface—do not multilate the foliage itself. 
Can be kept to narrow width. Should increase 
about 2 or 3 inches height each year. 
JAPANESE CYPRESS (Retinospora) 
Like the above, but better adapted to cli¬ 
mate Zones V and VI. Can be allowed to grow 
4 to 6 inches a year and still remain dense 
and bushy. (See page 13.) 
Pine ( Resinosa ) 
Hemlock 
Retinospora 
PINE and SPRUCE SCREEN 
A section from a screen that has proved 
practical. A line of Spruce six feet apart and 
behind them a line of Pine, alternating. The 
low branches of Spruce and the spreading tops 
of Pine make a dense screen. For the North- 
Zones I and II. Prune once in June. 
Spruce (Excelsa)
