having a spread of two feet, they should 
be narrowed to six inches and shortened 
to two feet. They will not make a solid 
growth the first year. 
The althea makes an excellent hedge for 
boundaries where a screen is wanted, but 
its tendency is higher than the privet or 
barberry. 
The Rosa rugosa should be planted in 
the spring. It makes an attractive hedge 
and is perfectly hardy. 
The dwarf conifers are satisfactory as 
hedges, their dwarf nature is lessened by 
space between the plants. While most of 
the conifers can be set in August, Septem¬ 
ber, March or April, the Arbor vitae 
should be planted in March or April only. 
The plants should be set about eighteen 
inches apart. White spruce thrives near 
the shore, but in such a location one should 
not plant a hedge of hemlock. 
Dwarf box requires to be planted early 
in the spring. Plants fourteen or sixteen 
inches in height should be cut back three 
or four inches. 
The Euonymus Radicans variegata is a 
very handsome evergreen vine which con¬ 
forms readily to boundary lines. The 
plants should be set late in March or early 
in April. 
An idea for a high fence for the pro¬ 
tection of elegant grounds is to use a 
privet hedge. This may grow ten feet 
high, forming an impenetrable wall of 
green. A wire fence may run along its 
outer side. 
Perhaps the best hedge for the pro¬ 
tection of fruit or vegetable gardens is the 
Osage orange, well known in many local¬ 
ities. It is a vigorous grower requiring 
severe pruning each season. It sends forth 
many shoots seven and eight feet long in 
a season, and being armed with strong, 
sharp thorns it forms an impenetrable 
hedge as soon as the thorns harden. The 
necessary pruning should be done before 
this occurs. If these superfluous branches 
are removed in June and August, the 
thorns will yet be soft enough to prevent 
injury to the pruner. This plant does not 
do well in soil that is not well drained. 
Privet hedges require pruning several 
times during the season.

below it to make blossoms. This is the 
process that produced clusters of medium 
sized blossoms. 
What sorts to begin with? For mid¬ 
season and late bloom try Timothy Eaton, 
Major Bonnafon, Chadwick and Jerome 
Jones for whites and for yellows. All 
these come in both colors, and the first 
three are especially reliable. Magnificent, 
Ivory and white Holland Frick may well 
be added to the whites and Klondike to 
the yellows. For Thanksgiving pink grow 
Englehardt, a very large, late flower; pink 
Holland Frick and pink Ivory. There are 
dozens more, but these are among the 
most beautiful, reliable and easy to han¬ 
dle of all chrysanthemums.
