toneaster Hedge—The clean-appearing, glossy leaves and 
robust growth make this hedge a favorite. 
The 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 apart 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 foil 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.

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

done. Should be planted only where the plants will 
have room to grow quite large. Please specify color
