IDEAS For TALLSCREEN, HEDGE, AND ACCENT PLANTINGS. 
Individual plants in this group make splendid subjects for accenting archi- 
tectural features. They are employed where time is a factor, and conifers 
would be too slow to create the effect desired, or they are substituted 
for accent conifers where the latter would be too heavy 
for the architectural setting. Used as screen or hedge plants, 
the members of this group give satisfactory performance 
through quick growth and adaptability to a wide variety 
of conditions. We make these suggestions for tall hedge or 
screen planting: Obtain enough plants to space three feet 
apart. Buy the balled or 5-gallon container sizes if possible. 
They are best for quick effect. If economy is the first con- 
sideration, purchase plants in l-gallon containers. Remem- 
ber that cultural attention is necessary for rapid growth. 
Apply fertilizer generously beginning a month after planting. 
Water frequently in large basins through the growing season.
