aes oo & | Make Living Walls of Green 
The best live fence is a hedge. It is a living, growing 
wall of beauty that never heeds to be painted. Along the 
front or side of the lot, where a dense barrier is desirable 
plant a hedge. The hedge also has a distinct value in 
decorative planting. Along walks, in the garden, along 
paths and around beds or any place where space is at a 
premium the hedge is an ideal planting. 
AMUR RIVER (Evergreen Privet). Southern variety, 
of erect, compact habit with small, dark green leaves. 
Forms a beautiful, dense hedge, quicker than other va- 
rieties, closely resembling Boxwood. It is easily kept 
and remains evergreen the year around. Strong grow- 
er. Plant 6 in. apart. We have the new seedling type, 
the most compact and most beautiful of all. This is 
the finest hedge plant for the South. 
CALIFORNIA. Most popular hedge until replaced by 
the New Evergreen Amur River, which we recommend 
as more desirable. Plant 6 in. apart. 


There’s a difference between Waynesboro grown Priv- 
et plants and ordinary plants. The type we grow is bushy, 
heavy-rooted, the kind which makes a dense hedge quickly. 
Note: We alsorecommend for hedges Hemlocks and Hol- 
lies, which make permanent hedges, can be kept sheared to 
almost any height and shape. See descrip. under Evergreens. 
HOW TO PLANT A HEDGE 
Planting: Make a trench about 15 in. wide and deep, so 
there is sufficient space for the roots without bending. Till 
trench with the best dirt you have and use plenty of well 
rotted manure. The latter should be thoroughly incorpor- 
ated with soil. Pack dirt well around roots as this will in- 
sure a good growth. Give sufficient water until well estab- 
lished. The tops of the plant should be severely cut back. 
Trim hedge slightly ‘‘A’’ shaped, that is, narrower at top 
than at the bottom. Otherwise the sunlight will not reach 
lower limbs and the hedge becomes open at the bottom.
