PLANTING AND 
GROWING HEDGES 
Beautiful hedges are easily grown 
if a few simple instructions are ob- 
served. Dig a trench 10 to 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 de- 
pending 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 depres- 
sion 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.
