Cotoneaster Hedge 
The clean^appearing, glossy leaves and 
robust growth ma\e this hedge a favorite. 
The cheapest wall or fence and the best is the liv¬ 
ing 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. 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.

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

ELM, CHINESE. This variety has slender branches

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.
