__ PLANTING AND GROWING HEDGES 
Beautiful hedges are easily grown if a few simple instruc- 
tions are observed. Dig a trench 10 fo 12 inches deep and 
the width of a spade. Set the plants a couple of inches deeper 
than they stood in the nursery. This insures a dense hedge at 
the base. Privet should be set 10 inches apart, Barberry 
about 18 inches. Shrubs such as Spirea 18 inches, Chinese 
Elm 2 feet, and Evergreens, 2 to 3 feet. Spacing may be 
varied depending upon the density desired. After spacing 
plants, fill in about one-half of the depth of the trench, then 
flood with water. After settling fill in balance of the trench 
and tramp firmly. Leave a slight depression along each side 
of the hedge to retain water. Keep thoroughly soaked until 
well started. Privet should be cut back to about 8 or 10 
inches after planting to promote vigorous growth. Hedges 
planted in this manner rarely fail to grow.

rate. All are guaranteed to grow.
