PLANTING AND GROWING HEDGES 
Beautiful hedges are easily grown if a few 
simple instructions are observed. 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 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 var- 
ied 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. 
thoroughly soaked until well started. Privet 
should be cut back to about 8 or 10 inches aft- . 
er planting to promote vigorous growth. Hedg- 
es planted in this manner rarely fail to grow.
