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 cr 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 1^2 feet apart. Most hedges should be 
severely pruned at the time of planting and after 
that, an occasional shearing to keep it in shape 
is all that is necessary. 
BARBERRY, JAPANESE (Berberis thun- 
bergi) —Low growing plant, best adapted for a 
hedge used as a border where view of objects is not 
to be obscured. Plant is spreading, turning scarlet 
at end of season. May be trimmed or left informal. 
BUCKTHORN, COMMON (Rhamnus ca- 
thartica) —Probably the best hedge plant where 
a rather high hedge or screen is wanted. This 
plant is very hardy, a vigorous grower, standing 
pruning exceptionally well. 
BUCKTHORN, GL.OSSY LEAF (Buckthorn 
frangula) —Similar to Common Buckthorn ex¬ 
cept that it is not susceptible to the Oat Rust. 
BUCKTHORN, DAHURIAN (Rhamnus da- 
vurica) —This plant is very hardy, a vigorous 
grower and stands pruning very well. Leaves are 
large, light green. A very desirable hedge plant. 
Not susceptible to Oat Rust. 
CARAGANA, DWARF (Caragana Pygmaea) 
—Ideal for a small form of hedge where it is not 
necessary to have a hedge over 18 inches high. 
Stands very dry conditions and will thrive in 
some of the poorer soils. 
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 
acutifolia) —The thick glossy leaves of this 
beautiful shrub turn to an attractive red in the 
fall. Stands trimming well. A medium height 
hedge. 
CURRANT, ALPINE (Ribes alpinum) —This 
is an exceptionally desirable hedge plant. It re¬ 
tains its dark green foliage very late in the fall. 
Stands trimming well and produces a very good 
hedge from 1 to 3 feet high. 
HONEYSUCKLE, TATA RIAN PINK (Loni- 
cera tatarica )—Foliage an attractive dark green. 
Makes a medium to tall hedge, more attractive 
when left informal. 
SPIREA, VANHOUTTE (Bridalwreath) (Sp. 
Vanhouttei) —A very beautiful hedge requiring 
no trimming.
