Hedges form a living wall or fence which grows in beauty from year to year. 
Whether it is used as a living wall of green, neatly trimmed and kept within borders 
or as a free-growing row of shrubs which screen out unsightly views, there is nothing 
quite so satisfactory as a hedge. 
Where little space is available, the hedge makes an ideal boundary planting. 
A hedge is decorative the year round and will add much to your lawn. 
Our hedge plants give splendid results. Here you will have a variety of 
plants suited for any purpose to which you wish them used. 
HOW TO PLANT HEDGES 
Prepare the ground by plowing or spading a trench 18 inches wide by 18 
inches deep. Be sure the soil is gcod and does not contain cinders, ashes or other 
harmful contents. Set the plants in a straight line in the trench, about 1 inch 
deeper than they originally stood in the nursery row. Firm the soil well around 
the roots adding water all the while. Apply well rotted barn-yard manure or some 
high grade fertilizer around the plants working it into the top soil. 
Be sure and cut at least one-half the tops of the hedge off after planting as 
the plants grow better and make a nicer hedge. Always trim hedges so the top is 
narrower than the bottom. Cultivate well.
