Evergreen Hedges 
Best for Year Round Service 
A HEDGE should be as attractive and 
as serviceable in the winter months 
as in the summer months. Ever¬ 
greens are the only plants which are per¬ 
manently attractive and useful. In Europe, 
almost every garden has an Evergreen hedge 
of some kind. Planters in America are, more 
and more, learning to surround their gardens 
and their property with attractive Evergreen 
hedges. 
Hedges may be of almost any shape and 
size and may serve many different purposes. 
Arborvitae is the most widely used of Ever¬ 
green hedge plants because it can be so 
easily trimmed into various sizes and shapes. 
It may be used as a tall screen or hedge, or 
a low hedge two or three feet high. It may 
also be kept extremely small and used as an 
edging or border for flower beds. 
There are other trees ideal for hedge pur¬ 
poses which we also offer in addition to the 
Arborvitae. Hemlocks, Yews, and Spruces 
are all suitable hedge materials. 
HOW TO PLANT HEDGES 
Evergreens are set from twelve to eighteen 
inches apart if set in a single row. Where 
space permits they may be set in two rows 
spacing the trees alternately, setting the 
rows about one foot apart. The plants in 
one row should come opposite the open 
spaces of the other row. 
Hedges should be planted at least three 
or four feet from sidewalks or property lines 
to allow for future development and to 
avoid crowding.
