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 have 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, staggered. 
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 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.

BUCKTHORN. (Rhamnus Catharticus.) A very satisfactory 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. It is hardy and one of our 
most satisfactory 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.
