WHERE TO PLANT TREES 
Trees planted about the house should 
accomplish the twofold purpose of 
framing the view of the house, and 
providing shade at the right place and 
at the time of day when it is needed. 
Trees planted nearer the corners of the 
house, rather than directly in front, will 
greatly enhance the appearance of the 
home and provide the much needed 
shade as well. 
Ordinarily trees should be planted 
sufficiently far apart to allow them to 
develop naturally. An exception is 
when they are used for screening out 
some unsightly view or for windbreak 
purposes. Small, ornamental trees can 
display their flower or fruit to advan¬ 
tage either on the lawn or in the border.

HEDGES 
Beautiful Borders of Living Green 
Spirea , Bridal TFreath 
T 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 effec¬ 
tively 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. 
Planting the Hedge 
When Buckthorn, Cotoneaster, Caragana and Chinese Hedgewood 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 single row. 
Do not fail to trim every plant immediately after planting to at least one-half 
its original size. Leaving 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. 
BARBERRY, JAPANESE or THUNBERGI—Of low spreading growth, forming a 
dense hedge. The twiggy branches are set with small, sharp thorns and bright, 
clean foliage which in the fall turns to gold and scarlet. The brilliant red 
berries are attractive in the fall and winter. A fine plant for a low hedge, 
whether trimmed or allowed to grow naturally.

BUCKTHORN (Rhainnus Catharticus) —A 
very satisfactory plant to use when a me¬ 
dium high to tall hedge is wanted. It stands 
trimming so well that it can be kept for a 
long period at practically any height de¬ 
sired. The foliage is of a rich, healthy green 
and remains clean-looking throughout the 
summer.

C’ARAGANA or SIBERIAN PEA TREE (Caragana Arborescens)—Thrives in any 
well-drained soil and is hardy in the most exposed locations. Is suitable for 
use where a medium or tall-growing hedge is desired. Sometimes the foliage 
does not remain in good condition during the latter part of the summer.

Buckthorn 
CURRANT, Alpine (Ribes Alpiniun)—Choice plant for use where a hedge of rather 
low growth is wanted. It is perfectly hardy and has a dense foliage of a 
pleasing green. Will stand partial shade. We recommend this plant very 
highly where a low hedge is wanted. 
12 to 18 in. Select grade. Per 10.$4.50 Per 100.$40.00 
HONEYSUCKLE, Tartarian (Lonicera Tatarica)—For use as a large hedge this 
plant is very desirable. It is perfectly hardy and a strong grower. It has 
myriads of small attractive flowers followed by red berries. 
2 to 3 ft. Per 10.$4.50 Per 100 . $40.00 
LILAC, Common Purple or White—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 attractions, would not be produced if trimming 
were done. Should be planted only where the plants will have room to grow 
quite large. Please mention color wanted. 
2 to 3 ft. Select grade. Per 10.$3.00 Per 100 . $25.00 
SPIREA, BRIDAL AVREATH (Spirea Van Houttei)—The splendid, graceful foliage 
k and lovely white flowers of this plant make it very desirable for use where an 
unsheared hedge is desired. It is perfectly hardy and thrifty growing. Should 
be trimmed only if required to remove very old branches and dead wood. 
2 to 3 ft. Select grade. Per 10.$2.50 Per 100 . $20.00 
CHINESE HEDGEWOOD (Ulmus Pumula) — 
Is extremely hardy and drought resistant. 
Beautiful green foliage appearing early in 
the spring and remaining late in the fall. 
Well adapted to trimming to form a dense, 
compact wall of any size or shape desired. 
A new hedge but rapidly becoming popu¬ 
lar. We are about the only ones that have 
this hedge and have a limited supply of 
it, so put in your order early so that you 
may receive some of this new hedge. We 
recommend this hedge very highly.
