ANDREWS Hardy Hedge Plants 
e e e 
Life in a Goldfish Boul 
Nobody would fancy living in a goldfish bowl. That’s why we plant hedges— 
low hedges in the front yard and tall hedges in the rear yard or outdoor living 
room. We want privacy in our outdoor rooms as we want privacy in our indoor 
rooms. Hedges are the walls we use in the outdoor rooms. 
For complete privacy in the rear yard use the taller, quick growing varieties, 
such as Chinese Hedgewood, or Honeysuckle. 
For partial privacy in the front yard to keep out intruders, use the lower grow- 
ing sorts—Barberry, Caragana Pygmea, Bridal Wreath, Chinese Hedgewood. 
If in doubt as to the best hedge for your purpose, feel free to write us. We list 
below the most dependable. 
CHINESE HEDGEWOOD 
The Chinese Hedgewood is quite generally recognized as the best all-around 
hedge plant. It is exceptionally fast growing, good looking, and very low in price. 
MAY BE TRIMMED HIGH OR LOW. Forms a dense compact wall suitable 
for a tall screen to “screen out” unpleasant views and to secure privacy in the out- 
door living room, or it may be clipped to make a low formal hedge. 
POPULAR AS A LOW BOUNDARY HEDGE between properties for ap- 
pearance or for protection. Chinese Hedgewood is well adapted to such use. It 
stands close clipping and makes a clean dense hedge that can be kept at any height. 
EXTREMELY HARDY AND DROUGHT RESISTANT. Chinese Hedge- 
wood has proven itself sturdy and dependable even under most trying conditions; 
withstands 40 degrees below zero of northern winters as well as sweltering tempera- 
tures in summer. 
BEAUTIFUL FOLIAGE. The small fine leaves are rich bright green, appear 
early in spring and remain long after most hedges have dropped their foliage. 
LOW PRICE. We grow Chinese Hedgewood in large quantities and are able 
to sell at an extremely low price. You can now afford the pleasure and protection 
of hedging about your home. Plant six inches to one foot apart.

Where to Use Hedges 
Hedges are one of the most useful factors in the development of home grounds. They serve as 
walls to cut) off some unsightly views—walls that may be covered with gorgeous bloom sometime 
throughout the growing season. Or, they may be used to divide the outdoor living room into two 
areas. There are many uses for the hedge and it is one of the most important factors in good 
plantings. There are tall ones, medium ones, and low ones. You can have a trimmed formal hedge, 
or an informal untrimmed hedge. You can have one that blossoms or one used for foliage effect only.

Training a Hedge 
To make a good hedge one should begin at planting. Dig a trench using a string as a guide. 
The wall of one side of the trench should be perfectly straight up and down. Hold the hedge plants 
against this straight side of the wall while planting. Plant 2 inches deeper than they were in the 
nursery. Spread out roots, cover with dirt and pack soil firmly around roots. The next step and 
one of the most important is the trimming. A hedge to be thick and full should be cut back to

The following are in this group: Honey- 
5 or 6 inches above the ground as soon as planted. Then during the summer at each trimming make 
the cut 3 or 4 inches higher than the last trimming until the desired height is reached. Only in this 
way will you have a hedge that will be thick clear to the ground.

CHINESE HEDGEWOOD 
Demonstrating Its Usefulness as Both a Tall Screen 
and a Low Clipped Hedge 
BARBERRY Thunbergi 
Of low spreading growth, forming a compact hedge. 
The foliage is a clean, bright green which turns to a fiery 
red in the fall. Attractive red berries lend enchantment 
during the fall and winter. 
BUCKTHORN 
A veritable super hardy hedge that may be grown as a 
tall screen or trimmed formally and grown at any height 
desired. Foliage is a beautiful dark green. The hedge is 
well adapted to the northwest. 
CARAGANA Pygmea 
A new dwarf shrub ideal for a low hedge because it re- 
quires little pruning and naturally maintains a dwarf com- 
pact shape. The foliage is fine and dense. In spring the 
hundreds of small golden yellow flowers add much to the 
interest. Extremely hardy, drought resistant and will grow 
well in sunny location. Set plants one foot apart. 
SPIREA VAN HOUTTEI (Bridal Wreath) 
The graceful drooping sprays and delicate white flowers 
have made this plant the most popular where a flowering, 
untrimmed hedge is desired. Set plants one foot apart.
