HEDGES 
Beautiful Borders 
of Living Green 
BUCKTHORN HEDGE 
A strong, thrifty grower, it presents a fine appearance and 
gives real protection to the grounds. 
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 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 hove been given ample room for both root and 
top development. 
PLANTING THE HEDGE 
We recommend planting Buckthorn, Cotoneaster and 
Caragana in two rows, each row 8 inches apart and 
the plants placed 12 inches apart in each row, stag¬ 
gered. 
For a narrow hedge, the plants may be planted eight 
inches opart in a single row. 
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.

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 ber¬ 
ries are attractive in the fall and winter. A fine 
plant for a low hedge whether trimmed or allowed 
to grow naturally.

BUCKTHORN. (Rbamnius Catbartlcus.) A very satis¬ 
factory plant to use when a medium high to tall 
hedge is wanted. It stands trimming so well that it 
can be kept for a long period at practically any 
height desired. The foliage is of a rich, healthy 
green and remains clean-looking throughout the 
summer. It Is hardy and one of our most satisfac¬ 
tory hedge plants. The Buckthorn we offer have been 
transplanted and twice cut back, making the plants 
well branched right from the bottom. Many nurseries 
offer plants which are seedlings and do not have the 
root system or the low, well branched tops.

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.

windbreak or screen. Plant 18 in. apart.

LilliAC, Common Purple or Wblte. (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.

HANS A ROSE. (Hybrid Rugosn.) This plant makes a 
fine untrimmed hedge. The healthy, attractive, 
heavy, crinkled foliage withstands drouth and ex¬ 
tremely hot weather without injury. The large double 
red flowers are fragrant, very ornamental and are 
produced in great abundance during June and early 
July. Scattered flowers are also produced during the 
balance of the summer and fall. Plants should be cut 
back to within a foot of the ground early each spring 
to produce strong flowering shoots.

splendid, graceful foliage and lovely white flow¬ 
ers of this plant make it very desirable for use 
where an unsheared hedge is desired. It is per¬ 
fectly hardy and thrifty growing. Should be 
trimmed only if required to remove very old 
branches and dead wood.
