HEDGES 
BEAUTIFY AS THEY SERVE 
For 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. Whether 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 
recommended distance. Honeysuckle and Bridalwreath should be about 1 Yi feet apart. Most hedges 
should be severely pruned atjthe 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. 
BARBERRY, JAPANESE (Berberis thun- 
bergi) —This low growing plant is best adapted 
for a hedge used as a border where the view 
of other objects is not to be obscured. A spread¬ 
ing plant with beautiful foliage that turns a 
scarlet in the latter part of the season. Used 
also as individual specimens and as border 
plants in groupings. May be trimmed or left 
informally. 
BUCKTHORN (Rhamnus cathartica) —Prob¬ 
ably the best hedge plant where a rather high 
hedge or screen is wanted. This plant is very 
hardy, a vigorous grower, stands pruning ex¬ 
ceptionally well. 
CARAGANA, SIBERIAN PEA-TREE (Cara- 
gana arborescens) —Extremely hardy, and 
also stands dry exposed positions. Trims to a 
nice hedge from 3 to 8 feet high. 
COTONEASTER, PEKING (Cotoneaster a- 
cutifolia) —The thick glossy leaves of this 
beautiful shrub turn to an attractive red in 
the fall. Stands trimming well. A medium 
HONEYSUCKLE, TATARIAN PINK (Lon- 
icera tatarica) —Foliage is very attractive 
dark green. Makes a medium to tall hedge. 
More attractive when left informal. 
SPIREA, VANHOUTTE (Bridalwreath)—A 
very beautiful hedge requiring no trimming.
