HEDGES /xalect and Beautify 
For boundary, screen, or barrier, there is nothing more pleasing than a hedge. With their bright green leaves they 
bring a feeling inspired by the fresh foliage of spring. Whether when formally trained or left to develop naturally, 
their arched branches, colored foliage, and bright berries are more pleasing than the mechanical effect obtained 
by the use of a wooden or metal fence. Most hedges are permanent and with the exception of occasional shear- 
ing, they need little attention after being established. 
PLANTING 
Spacing varies with the variety used, but, for most of 
them 10 to 12 inches is the recommended distance. 
Honeysuckle and Bridal Wreath should be about 2 feet 
apart. Most hedges should be severely pruned at the 
time of planting and after that, an occasional shearing 
to keep it in shape is all that is necessary. 
BARBERRY, THUNBERG (Berberis thunber- 
gi). Low growing plant, best adapted for a hedge 
used as a border where view of objects is not to be 
obscured. Plant is spreading, turning scarlet at end of 
season. May be trimmed or left informal. 
BUCKTHORN, COMMON (Rhamnus catharti- 
ca). Probably the best hedge plant where a medium 
to high hedge or screen from 3 to 6 feet tall is wanted. 
This plant is very hardy, a vigorous grower, standing 
pruning exceptionally well. (We do not recommend 
planting Common Buckthorn in rural areas because it 
is a host to the Oat Rust). 
CARAGANA, DWARF (Caragana pygmaea. 
Ideal for a small form of hedge where it is not neces- 
sary to have a hedge over 18 inches high. Stands very 
dry conditions and will thrive in some of the poorer 
soils. 
CARAGANA, SIBERIAN PEA-TREE (Cara- 
gana arborescens). Extremely hardy and also 
stands dry exposed positions. Trims to a nice hedge 
from 3 to 8 feet high. 
COTONEASTER, PEKING (Cotoneaster acut- 
ifolia). The thick glossy leaves of this beautiful 
shrub turn to an attractive red in the fall. Stands trim- 
ming well. A medium height hedge. 
[31] 

CURRANT, ALPINE (Ribes alpinum). This is 
an exceptionally desirable hedge plant. It retains its 
dark green foliage very late in the fall. Stands trim- 
ming well and produces a very good hedge from 1 to 
3 feet high. 
PRIVET, LODENSE. A very compact growing 
dwarf hedge. Ideal in partial shade. 
SPIREA, VANHOUTTE (Bridal Wreath) (Sp. 
vanhouttei). A very beautiful hedge requiring no 
trimming.
